In spite of what some folks think, a shotgun would be a better choice for most folks than a rifle of any sort.

No, it isnt. 30 rounds > 7 rounds in combat 100% of the time.

I’d like to know more about this tyrannical government everyone is worried about. Who’s going to order the US military to turn against civilians? What branch of government is going to sign off on that? Who in the actual military will be following through on that? I love all these nutjobs claiming 2A is the number one protection we have against tyranny, completely ignoring our 3 part government with built in checks and balances.


But even if it did --- your AR-15 aint gonna stop that train. We have the greatest military in the world, with incredibly sophisticated weaponry. Cmon now.

If you have to shoot 30 times at somebody breaking into your house, you're dead already

Yeah, because that would never be corrupted, right?

I'm amazed that some people willingly put blind faith in bureaucrats

Who are you to dictate to others what they should choose to defend themselves with?

Have you ever handled or fired a rifle? Youre completely clueless on any of this.

Don't sound stupid. I didn't dictate anything. I made a simple observation.

Because why would I only want to put 10 holes in a potential threat when I could put 30?

Answer the question.

Who’s going to order it? Some batshit President?

Then you think Congress will sign off?

So you really think that one of these loons would say, oh well if I can't get my hands on that AR-15 I've been seeing everyone else use I guess I can't shoot up my school too.

No, he wouldn't just stop there because he's fricking crazy. He'd go get extended magazines for another type of semi automatic weapon and use that instead.
