Shotgun! I had heard this a long time ago and found it believable in this day and time when we “have” to use less than lethal force if at all possible. HUH? AR vs AK and most likely the AK is gonna win out with it’s more powerful cartridge. I say we let these guys on the border use M-14s. I’m pretty sure there are a bunch in a warehouse someplace.

Ummm....no.

It depends primarily on a heavy dose of luck, some skill and the one that has the superior brain housing group. I’ll take my CAR-15 over an AK any day of the week. The M-14 is a marvelous shooter and there are a great many still in long term storage. Not my top pick for a close-in 10-20 yard quick engagement. I would actually prefer a Thompson, but I will definitely take my CAR-15 (converted).

...I guess that the 16,000 new IRS agents hired to enforce ObamiCare will be issued with bean bags to accompany the 16,000 shotguns just purchased.

I don't think so. Effective range makes the AR the clear winner.
