How do you know?For a home owner or business owner a shotgun is the defensive weapon of choice.
Shotguns are also used by SWAT in home breaching and in military assaults on a densely-vegetated defensive position
An AR pistol is even louder, and emits a huge flash that will blind intruders, and is more of a controlled projectile. It also has much less recoil, so it can be used by people who are small or frail.It is loud, intimidating and very effective against a single target or a small unit of targets, depending on the choke.
All offensive weapons can be used for defense. All defensive weapons can be used for assault.The offensive weapon is one which is use to spread fire more widely and at a greater range. Unlike the shotgun, many more targets can be killed or wounded and terrified.
You are splitting hairs on a distinction.
By your definition, our deer rifles would be confiscated. Those are 100% offensive weapons.
That doesn't bother you?Fully automatic firearms are restricted to LE and the Military,
Not correct. No license is required, but we can only have only full-autos built before 1985. Anything after 1985 is strictly off limits to civilians, unless you are a gun manufacturer or dealer WITH a SPECIFIC request from a military or law enforcement agency to construct such a weapon. In other words, the practical effect is that NO civilians can be licensed to possess a full-auto.only licensed citizens are able to own or possess them;
But, our government sure can. I wonder where it got such authority, to the exclusion of the people, of whom the government is supposed to be of, by, and for.
