You are a woman, an intruder is in your home, and you have a shotgun. And shotguns are heavy and cumbersome. You fire a warning shot in the air, damaging your home instead of damaging the intruder. And if you’re a petite woman, the recoil could knock you off your feet and possibly stun you. Now you’re flat on your back and the gun’s empty. The perp rapes and kills you, and gets a free shotgun in the bargain. And senile old morons like Joe Biden are the ones who pass the laws that affect you and me.

And you’re disoriented and deafened by the blast, and blinded by the flash.
