Your average pump shotgun used for hunting holds around 3 shells before needing to be reloaded. If you have a riot shotgun, they can have 6 to 10 shells before needing to be reloaded. There is also the fact that shot doesn't travel near as far as a rifle bullet.
Sorry, but reloading after a max of 10 shots is a lot less harmful than having 30 shots before reloading.
I carried an Ithaca 37 8-shot trench gun in Vietnam.....9 .00 (.32 caliber) pellets in each shell...times 8 slam fired with a duck-bill....That's 72 rounds by comparison in less than 4 seconds....show me a full-auto M-16 that can keep up with my Ithaca.
Is that gun you carried in Vietnam legal for civilians to use?
Yes....it is a shotgun....and used against helpless children it would be as bad as the rifle used by the Sandy Hook shooter....it isn't the gun, it is the victim, and the time they are allowed to kill in the gun free zone...
