More killed by the military, not private Americans defending their homes, which I believe was the root of the question. Moot point really in that the number I care about is lives saved not lives taken. Hey, I watched “ The Rifleman” too and I have a repro 1886 that I absolutely cherish, but it’s no more complicated to use than a pump, skilled or not. Shotguns as you know are a devastating short range weapon that just fits suburban and urban home defense scenarios better than a weapon firing a rifle round no matter how the action is cycled. I miss, and I’m responsible for wherever that round hits and I like my neighbors for the most part. I’m grabbing my Mossy if trouble comes my way, and that you can take to the bank. I’m not friggen’ John Wick or Chuck Conners.
