The Japanese were afraid to invade the USA because they knew that every male citizen had access to a weapon. These ‘Flash Mobs” better learn a lesson from Japan. Even a load of rock salt into your legs from a 12 gauge will restrict your future agility when shooting hoop. Double ‘ought’ buck will put you on wheels for the rest of your life!

I believe the phrase passed around the Japanese High Command was “a rifle behind every blade of grass.”.

“I fear that all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant, and fill him with a terrible resolve.”

Once the load of double oo hits you, you, you don’t have to worry about collecting social security.

Even a load of rock salt into your legs from a 12 gauge...

Seen a lot of 12 ga rounds - never seen that sold.

Birdshot (BB to #6) will handily skip off of pavement, and tends to fan out when it does. The closet the bounce point to the target, the lower the shot (now flattened if old lead shot) will hit the target. Halfway will hit at roughly the same height as the shot was fired from (muzzle height). Think of it like a reflection, where the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection (roughly, there will be flyers). Best not to be alone, and have plenty of folks and rounds to catch the mob front at the same time. If the front ranks fall down, the rest will get tangled up in that.

The Street Sweeper and Striker shotguns were designed for this sort of mob control using the above tactic, but have been considered 'destructive devices' per the BATF since Lloyd Bentsen was head of the Treasury Dept.
