A rifle is NOT better than a shotgun. It has a far higher chance of passing a projectile and killing an innocent bystander behind the aggressor. The effective kill distance can be up to a mile with a rifle while a shotgun using shot is limited to less than 50 yards. A shotgun can use a far greater selection of projectiles from slugs to rubber slugs. At self-defense ranges, even birdshot only spreads a few inches. Even a handgun can have less accuracy and effectiveness, given the length of the sight radius of only a few inches.
