Even in the orgianl language of the NFA act of 1934, handguns were intended to
be banned. The problem was even most folk who say they are anti-gun
wouldn't mind owning a handgun to be kept by their bed. An analogy is razor
blades are safer than axes even though it's easier to hide a razor blade and
they can do their of damage if they slice a major artery.
