I think Uncle Joe was advocating the use of a double barrel. This Maryland shooter used a pump.

And a pump shotgun is less automatic than a revolver. and for at least one shot less automatic than a double barrel shotgun. I believe some would say it is easier to reload a double barrel than a pump. And the guy reloaded. In any case, for him to reload a pump is not like putting in a clip or even reloading a revolver.

Actually, I expected The Left to go after buckshot instead of the gun itself. But, missed that one.

The left will probably go after gunpowder! Didn't they try to regulate one of the main ingredients already?

Good points. Even if well practiced it does indeed take a bit of time to reload a pump or a semi for that matter. About the pump being less automatic; it kinda depends on the age of the pump. Older pumps can be rapid fired by merely holding the trigger down and racking the forward grip as fast as possible. The newer pumps require that the trigger be pulled and released before another shell can be taken to battery. A safety feature I suppose. Btw, I don’t know when this functionality change went into effect and too lazy to research :)
