Right. I doubt it was "A lot more" though.
Knowing that the Registry for automatic weapons was closing, some manufacturers registered as many as they could before the deadline. To this day you can get "new" Sten SMGs if you're willing to pay enough (~$5-6k last I looked). There are piles of metal pipes with serial numbers stamped on them in a couple of warehouses that are legally considered automatic weapons.

Since the tax stamps in 1936, I don't think that there's ever been a large percentage of full auto owners, ignoring how costly and pointless they are in the first place. It's the rare bird that is willing to endure the months of waiting and background checks for the pleasure of spending their money as quickly as possible.
