I love it when idiots say shit like this:
"But just as you don’t have an individual right to go out and buy an F-15—if you’re a billionaire—with ordnance on it, just like you don’t have the right to buy an M-1 tank, just like you don’t have a right to buy an automatic weapon"
Actually you do have the right and ability to all of those --- and in all cases it is perfectly legal for a citizen to own. You just have to do the right paperwork.
..and before anyone says it -- yes, citizens CAN have nuclear material. You just have to do the right paperwork and get approved. 42 USC ยง 2073 - Domestic distribution of special nuclear material.
What is my joy if all hands, even the unclean, can reach into it? What is my wisdom, if even the fools can dictate to me? What is my freedom, if all creatures, even the botched and impotent, are my masters? What is my life, if I am but to bow, to agree and to obey?

"I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do."
I do find it funny that Biden condones shooting people with a shotgun.
So if the shotgun is so effective and easier to learn, then why are we banning the A15?
Actually I think he's right. A converted Saiga 12 with a 20 round drum would be a very effective self defense weapon.
2 rounds...make 'em count, fellas.
That, or get your own security detail. That always helps.
