How many of those 5.56mm "advantages" go away if you don't use just the right ammo???
More than a few people won't be using "defensive" ammo, if its even a bit more expensive. (and just what is "defensive 5.56mm, anyway??)
What advantages does the 5.56mm have if you're using 55gr FMJ?? (because people will, and do...)
Suppressors aren't an option every one can use, Same goes for SBRs.
(and, even if you can, you are still in the same boat as everyone else during the MONTHS that pass wile waiting for federal approval...a friend of mine got an SBR-pistol caliber carbine. Took 10 months almost to the day before he could pick it up. Now, a few years later, he's looking to sell it. Has a buyer.. currently on month 5 of waiting for federal approval to sell it...

The people short stroking a pump shotgun are very likely to screw up loading an AR, or clearing a jam as well.
Capacity and ease of reload, I'll give you that, but realistically, how important is that in a home defense situation?
For me, not that much. For you? I have no idea.
