hmmm....
If you’re armed for self-defense, and the first shot doesn’t stop the invader, you doomed.
If you outlaw useful guns, you create a black-market with less control, untaxed, expensive guns while creating more criminals and filling prisons more.
That depends on your profenciency. As a kid with single shot 410 and a 22, I was pretty quick on the reload.
Having said that, let me say I have vivid memories of my young buddy's pump action 22 plinking skills. The tube on that pump held a lot of shorts
Kinda like the war on drugs. They didn’t stop the market. They just made it a bit more risky with much higher rewards.
