Whereas children are well known to be impervious to shotgun fire.

PS: I do know that a .223 shot from an AR15 can go through several walls and a shotgun is best for closer range home defense. But that does not make Biden any less a brain damaged imbecile.

Buckshot/slug/55 grain .223 round are all about the same as far as penetrating interior walls. All of them will penetrate many.

If you want enough power to stop a goblin, then you will be dealing with penetrating several interior walls if you miss.

There’s really nothing you can do about it, except don’t miss.

You could use something less likely to stop the bad guy, like birdshot, but I don’t recommend it.

You are right.
I have several very expensive AR-15 style rifles and several very expensive carbines and several very expensive ‘small’ and ‘large’ caliber pistols.

But IF GIVEN A CHOICE, during a robbery invasion in the middle of the night, I would choose my $400 Mossberg 12ga with aa buck everytime.

NOT BECAUSE THE IDIOT SAYS SO. I have said this for years.

Now... if I was faced with a pack of zombies or one of Obama’s flash mobs threatening my house, the 5.56s would come out.

But yeah, shotgun is better in close quarters like a hallway. Of course, you never know the situation and any gun in any caliber is better than no gun at all.

“Whereas children are well known to be impervious to shotgun fire.”

If you shoot rock salt at them when they are little, it toughens them up a bit.

They want you to know that if you had 7 million Joe Bidens, the IQ would still be below 1 of them...

“PS: I do know that a .223 shot from an AR15 can go through several walls and a shotgun is best for closer range home defense.”

There is both soft point and frangible ammunition commonly available (when ammunition was commonly available!) for use in AR-15s for home defense. It does not penetrate walls any more than buckshot does.

Why is Biden worried about a child that his liberal abortionist friends missed?

Kill ‘em in utero, kill ‘em right out of utero, kill ‘em later accidentally - in your world, what’s the difference, Joe? And why the concern over the last example when you are fine with all the others?

There are credible studies that show the .223 safer in social situations than a 12 gauge.
