When shotguns were used by US soldiers in trench warfare during WW1, the Germans formally protested, saying that their use in war violated the Hague convention. (The Hague said that it didn't.)
A shotgun is not at all "less lethal". It depends on the intended use and distance from the intended target.
How do people get paid to write this nonsense?
“I pledge to stretch the truth, alter the truth and flat out not tell the truth so help me Hillary”. Reporters oath.
...There are 9 (nine) x .330 caliber pellets in each 00 shotgun round....
A Remington 870 was used by the latest murdering lunatic.
And if 7 12 gauge 00 rounds are fired from an 870 in 3 seconds, which is entirely possible, that would shoot 63 30 caliber pellets. 63 pellets in 3 seconds is actually faster than the full automatic bullet fire rate of the M4 rifle and every bump stock ever made.
Liberals are idiots
