I disagree with his conclusion somewhat. My own experiences in that same LA Riot leads me to think that he’s got the right idea in that one should select a modern pattern combat arm, but I believe that the correct selection would be one in 7.62mm caliber or a detachable magazine fed semi-auto shotgun. Like my FAL and my Saiga 12 that I bought after the experience - and after moving to Texas.

You’re both right. Every responsible American should have a modern sporting rifle in 5.56 and one in 7.62. They should all have a 12 gauge shotgun in either pump or semiautomatic. And they should all have a center-fire revolver or semiautomatic pistol. Throw in a .22LR pistol and a .22LR rifle, and you’re getting toward the minimum for any responsible citizen. [Don’t forget the ammo - at least 1,000 rounds of each caliber/gauge.]

No complaint with the FAL, but my suggestion would be to stick with a tube fed shotgun. That's what our military uses and they train to be reloading while you are shooting, when you can. That way your firearm never runs dry. That tube fed gun is more maneuverable and quicker on target.

If you only click one link in his very linky article, click that one. It’s here:

Leftists really do want to put us in death camps and kill us all. That belief has no been normed and mainstreamed.

My conclusion as well.

In my circumstance, I will be on defense, not attack and at the ranges involved in the heat of the event, a shotgun is more forgiving and can destroy an attacker
