What I'm getting from Wolverine is that he wants them to available over the counter. For no other reason than why not.

Not if one were dealing with multiple attackers breaking into a home. |
Chances are you are pretty toast if you are dealing with multiple attackers anyway, an assault rifle will not change those odds. I don't have figures at hand, but I'd wager most crimes don't involve multiple attackers. |
If your aim isn't true, go for the Mossberg 590. And yeah, it's considered to be an "assault weapon". The 500 is just a shotgun. But with a Marine type parkerized finish and a bayonet lug, the 590 is an
assault weapon.
A shotgun loaded with 00 buck will turn a single attacker into multiple attackers pretty darn fast.
Especially among the Vietnamese immigrant communities in California, home invasion robberies are too common. They're known to remain private and shy away from the police, so they're seen as easy pickings by young punks. And with Californication being a place where you're better off being a criminal than a law abiding citizen, many/most guns like this are off limits. Plus these people aren't used to having guns, so criminals just bust in on them, rob and rape them and that's that.
