The AG could do that, in theory, but in the world post McDonald and Heller he'd lose in the long run. Firearms "in common use" can not be banned. I'm quite certain that classifying them as DDs would qualify as a De Facto ban. The very same principle is one of the foundational arguments against the NY SAFE Act, which also effectively bans almost all shotguns due to their ability to accept more than 7, 1 3/4" "mini shells".
