I think Joe Biden's older idea that "You don't need an AR, just get a Double Barrel Shotugn" is really flawed in the sense that it's much harder for smaller and less experianced shooter to effectively make follow up shots with a shotgun if it's flying out of their hand, where as your usual AR kicks about as much as .22.

I think if you start to outlaw larger calibers, people will just switch to pistol caliber carbines or ignore the regulation.

I do actually think that ultimately it's not the worst idea. If you limit civilians to pistol and shotgun calibers, you make it so that law enforcement has a range and capacity advantage in any engagement, if ultimately you care more about Law enforcement having an easier time killing citizens, even if they are criminals, then you do about the ability for a citizen to defend themselves from any threat, forein or domestic.

I don't think it's the worst idea, but I really don't like it. I would prefer some other alternative.
