I don’t know what former President Clinton said and I don’t care about his agenda (we know it is bad). However, IF one only wants a firearm JUST to protect themself inside a home...THEN it is true that a shotgun (provided it is a weaponized one with a 18’ barrel and pump or semi-auto) IS the BEST choice. A rifle will go through several walls and possible hurt a neighbor, but a shotgun (using large birdshot) won’t travel much past the first wall (even drywall). Plus, the shotgun will be more immediately incapacitating and lethal.
I doubt Mr. Clinton would approve of a “riot gun” version of a shotgun that is best for home defense though. A single, or double barrel hunting shotgun would not be much use indoors. Mr. Clinton would probably consider the proper defense shotgun to be an “assault weapon” as well.

Mine is a pistol grip 12 ga with a laser and bright light on it, loaded alternately with 00 & slugs. I also have a semi-auto 45 w13 rd clips and a rifle w/30 rd clips that I can fire nearly as fast as if it were ‘selectable’.
Anyone want to come and take your chances? Bring your shotgun, Willie Jeff...ya sure ya know which is the business end?
