The guy, or guys, who will be invading your home, sticking a gun in your face or otherwise using a firearm to commit a crime sure as hell won't restrict themselves to revolvers and lever/pump action firearms. The semi-automatic firearm isn't exactly a new phenomenon either, it's technology around a century old.
I don't really see this as a convincing argument. In a home invasion the best move is gathering the occupant and taking a defensive position behind cover facing a door. A shotgun and/or revolver in .38 special/.357 magnum is the best weapon for this defense. The statistics I saw before during an argument about this showed altercations where a firearm is used defensively are overwhelmingly, over 95%, over within three rounds fired. Well within the capacity of a revolver.
