The best home defense weapon is a large caliber handgun or a shotgun. Out of the home, a handgun serves the purpose better. Self-defense situations outside of the home are often in close quarters where the "assault weapons" that would not qualify as pistols would be unwieldy, and since the vast majority of self-defense situations are over within 5-6 shots from the last data I saw from the NRA, a high capacity handgun would also be unnecessary.
In fairness he said they have legitimate self-protection purposes.
