So if you kill a deer with a lever action carbine chambered in 44 magnum, did you kill the deer with a handgun?
Nobody said a rifle/carbine was the same as a handgun no matter what round its chambered in. I believe his point about "no matter what type of gun or cartridge" was directed at the original question of SPs vs revolvers. If you have been involved in handgun hunting discussions for any length of time you will hear an occasional hardcore revolver guy put down SPs as not being a real handgun.
I may be wrong, but I think Randominator's response is a rhetorical question toward Rmagnum. Rmagnum questioned why a rifle cartridge in a handgun would be considered handgun hunting, so Randominator asked him if by that logic a rifle in a handgun cartridge would be considered handgun hunting.
