A handgun becomes illegal if you make it possible to be used with two hands. But certain rifles become illegal (in some places) if they have a pistol grip that allows it to be used with one hand. Got it. Let me see if I understand…

Most folks use a two-handed shooting stance. Are all handguns now AOWs? Seems the could be with the looseness of this ruling.

"designed to be held and fired by the use of a single hand" Umm... couldn't the ATF call any big-bore revolver an AOW then...? I can't imagine shooting an S&W500 with one hand. Ouchie. (So, it's not designed to be fired with one hand, but also a revolver... like the pistol situation, it could be both, ATF decides it's an AOW.)
