There is the video running around here of the 13 year old young lady handling both the AR and a shotgun along with others.
Yes, and she is essentially a "trained professional".
The women in the video are not, and they were the ones Greasy Joe was addressing his remarks to.
One thing no one has addressed is how is a shotgun at home supposed to help protect some woman who is not at home ?
In that case the AR is no help either, but a Glock would be perfect.
