That's not always the case.And if you want something for home defense, nothing beats a semiautomatic shotgun at close range.
For some, a rifle might be better.

a 125-year-old, single-shot, black powder buffalo gun that I got chance to shoot last summer and could make 6-inch groups at 1,000 yards.

Its his opinion, he's intitled to it!
But that doesn't mean that states can't impose reasonable gun controls, such as limiting the types of weapons that can be owned and requiring that guns be registered. We do that for the same reasons that we don't allow people to drive open-wheeled formula race cars on state highways or let your neighbor open a small chemical plant in his back yard.
We recognized that some things in our society pose enough of a risk that we need to impose limits on them.
The state can also impose reasonable limits on who is allowed to do certain things. I think you'd agree that people who have been adjudged mentally ill or have committed certain felonies should be barred from owning a gun of any kind.
It's interesting that since Michigan allowed concealed weapons permits for nearly anyone who wants one, only a small percentage of the people eligible have bothered to get a CCW permit. It's even more interesting that the number of firearms crimes committed by people who have CCW permits can be counted on your two hands.

Uh huh, sure buddy.
However, that is irrelevant to this discussion and it doesn't mean that he is exempt from being criticized for his opinion.
You say that like it's a bad thing.I own both so I must be a subversive extremist radical treasonous insurgent
