From my understanding handguns were originally written into the NFA but were taken out because of public/political backlash. The SBR rule was put in to prevent people from cutting long arms down to pistol size to get around the law.
Unfortunately, when handguns were taken off the NFA legistlation the dopey SBR rule stayed. Very frustrating knowing SBRs were not really supposed to be in there
