Stupid is the correct word. The non-existent “assault weapon” that is being demonized is nowhere near the deadly menace it has been sold by the left as being. Any semi-automatic shotgun is FAR more lethal. It doesn’t even have to be semi-automatic...a good pump action can be worked almost as fast. Now that they have worked the bugs out, the Keltec KSG dual-tube pump is one nasty weapon.
I don’t remember where but I read that someone who is good can cycle an 870 faster than most semi auto shotguns.
