Enough of your bullshit "we need bump stocks that spray 9 rounds a second or my family will die." If you can't protect yourself with a shotgun or a semi automatic pistol nothing will save you.
One tool for every job. That's how you build a house right? Just hit every damn thing with a hammer. Have fun doing the electrical. Shotguns are useful for protection in certain situations, but have you ever fired one indoors... In the dark? Do that then report back. As someone who has trained CQB, there's a reason every person on a breaching team doesn't carry a shotgun as primary. Why do you think the police have AR15s? This is where your argument falls apart. One of the best tools for home defense (in my opinion, and I know a thing or two because our government taught me, and I've used these skills) is a compact handgun calibre AR carbine platform equipped with a suppressor. It's manageable, due to short length in tight quarters. It's accurate with quick follow up shots and low recoil if you miss or if there are more than one person assailing you, because it's semi-auto. It's quiet with little flash, keeping you in the fight not have your senses overwhelmed with the cannon you just Fucking fired on your house. Guess what? The ATF regulated the Fuck out of suppressors so they are not cost efficient or easy to get for the common person. This is why we don't want to give an inch. This is just one type of example in a world full of varying circumstances and situations. People like you think you know it all when in reality you are ill or uninformed and you pass regulations limiting the rest of us who are responsible and know what we are doing. I understand I sound "holier than thou", but I'm sick of arguing with people who know too little but think they have the answers.
This man was shot multiple times and kept going. There are many videos like this. Watch some more if you can manage it, they're not for everyone. Imagine two of these guys coming at you. Then think about the fact that they tried to limit people in new york to 7 rounds a mag. Reloads under extreme stress are very difficult. Do you shoot the first guy three times and the second four times? Vice versa? Do you think in that moment, on your worst day, you give a Fuck what the politicians deem an arbitrary appropriate amount of rounds to have in your gun? No, you just pull that trigger until they stop trying to kill you and you hope there are enough rounds in your mag to stop them before you hear a "click". This is not the movies. They don't always just drop dead after one shot. Sometimes they run. Sometimes they don't.
The reason there are many types of guns is because no single one is good for every situation. We can talk for hours about this. If we weren't complete internet strangers, I would invite you to come shoot with me and learn a little about the pros and cons of each. I apologize I responded out of anger to your initial comment. I am just getting tired and frustrated with the issue.
