And I am no more safer when someone owns just a shotgun as I am if that same person owns a handgun. With the exception he is less likely to always have the weapon on him, However, A defective person will simply use his shotgun. Take away all the guns, wow, they go to Mexico and come back with an arsenal or they build their own. Yup I know a lot of people who have (very skilled craftsmen I may add). Get rid of all ammo, well I reload my own, most serious shooters do. Unless people change, nothing changes. Hence figure out how you will handle your personal security. Cops cannot be everywhere.
