While creating the National Firearms Act of 1934, a complete ban on handguns
was on the list.  Other countries followed suit so subjects can only own full
length single shot shotgun or single shot rifles.  Resistance to a complete
handgun ban was very strong.  I know anti-gun folks who think owning a
handgun for home use is fine, while long guns are terrible.  If the firearm ne
ver left the home, size would not be important.  The law being put into
effect's emphasis was on concealed firearms carried by criminals, and long gun
s being cut down so they could be carried concealed under long coats. 
Suppressors got thrown in not because gangsters owned them.  They were more co
ncerned about poachers tresapassing and not getting caught.
