@CursedWarrior100 Suppressor shouldn't be illegal. Even in england, a country with super strict gun laws, they are perfectly legal. Suppressors don't make a gun any deadlier, nor do they make a gun completely silent. Even a suppressed 9mm pistol, a relatively tame cartridge, is quite loud when firing. The difference is that it crosses the threshold into being (mostly) hearing safe, and allow you to shoot without hearing protection. There is plenty of reason for a civilian to want to own a suppressed firearm, and I can think of at least half a dozen scenarios where someone might need a gun but not have hearing protection on hand.
The assault weapon ban and high capacity magazine bans are both pointless and excessive. Assault weapons are not inherently deadlier than a normal rifle, and average, everyday handguns and rifles regularly have magazine capacities ranging from 15 to 30 rounds or more. Artificially limiting citizens to only have 10 round magazines is excessive, and puts a burden on people to comply with a law that restricts them to finding a firearm that complies with these regulations.
My father was looking into buying a 9mm handgun, only to realize that he was severely limited in his choices. Glocks, CZs, and many other common 9mm handguns have magazine capacities well in excess of 10 rounds, only a handful of manufacturers make 9mm handgun magazines that comply with this law.

I live in Connecticut, and I can assure you, getting a gun is fucking difficult. You have to take a safety class that costs around $80 and a week of your time. You then take your certificate and go to the local police department. You ask them to take your fingerprints, which most departments only do during certain times of day.
Assuming you get this far, you then spend more money and time to apply for a permit. Getting the permit can take several months, sometimes close to a year, and cost several hundred dollars. This permit must be renewed every 5 years (for a recurring fee of course), missing the renew date forces you to go through the whole process again. Your permit can be taken away at any time and your guns confiscated for any reason, no charges even need to be filed. Your neighbor could be in a bad mood, call the cops, report you and your guns will be seized and destroyed with no charges being pressed or trial of any kind.
To purchase a firearm, you enter a gun store, present your valid ID, present your permit, and wait sometimes upwards of an hour for them to do a full background check on you. If it comes back clean, you can then purchase a firearm and ammunition. A decent quality handgun, rifle or shotgun typically costs at least $400.
Now that you own a gun, you have dozens of different laws to follow regarding the use and storage of it. You can be jailed for keeping it loaded, for failing to lock the gun up, for locking the gun up in the same place as ammunition, for transporting the gun in your car on the way to the range. If someone breaks into your house or car and steals your gun, you will be found guilty of criminal charges for allowing your gun to be stolen. If crimes are committed with that stolen gun, you are likely to face accessory charges for them.

@blagdaross5953 1. Sure, that's fair. But one shotgun shell has got to be worth at least five pistol rounds in terms of stopping power. There's a reason police use shotguns when going into a potentially dangerous situations, and that's because they trust a shotgun to put down a threat quickly. A shotgun tube has less ammunition than a handgun or rifle magazine, but each round is much more likely to stop the threat assuming you are accurate with your shots.
Buckshot might go through your walls, but the nice thing about shotguns is that you can load them with whatever the hell you want. Less lethals, almost lethal, all the way up to extremely lethal. If you want, you can do something fancy like load the final shell in the tube (thus the first one in the chamber) with rocksalt or birdshot so your first shell probably won't kill an intruder, while also minimizing collateral damage, but have every shell after that be buckshot. It's a very versatile platform, including your ammunition options. You can even put some shell cards on it to solve your limited capacity problem, although to be fair, I think it's a rare situation where 8-ish shotgun shells isn't enough to deal with a home invasion, but at least you have the option.

@DrWolfensteinz If you wanted to build a home defense shotgun, you could do so for less than $500 and it would be much better suited to the task than a hunting shotgun, and arguably better than the AR depending on your school of thought regarding home defense calibers. You can throw tac lights on a shotgun, you can put cards on it, you can get a shorter barrel, whatever you need. Just because the average hunting shotgun isn't the ideal home defense gun doesn't mean that you can't set up a shotgun specifically for the task. Honestly, I don't see the point of optics on a home defense gun, unless you particularly like red dots. In any case, they absolutely do make shotguns with picatinny rails, so you could have one anyways, although a decent one would double the cost of the build.
You can research all you want about the perfect home defense gun, that's fine. Maybe you can build a $2000 AR into a decent home defense gun. But in terms of cost to effectiveness ratio, shotguns will always have rifles beat. In any case, the best gun in any scenario is the one you have on hand, and that you're familiar with.
