Built by Ray Attfield, the Rife machine uses radio wave frequencies to help clean the body. We do private and group sessions for the Rife machine. Every Wednesday at 10 am we do a group session for people with cancer. Please feel free to come even if you don't have cancer.
Single sessions are $40 per session. Group sessions are $20 per session.

I’d get a spellchecker first.
I’ve split the difference between a 12 gauge and a 410, by purchasing a 20 gauge Mossberg.
Invented by Dr. Royal Raymond Rife, a Rife Machine is basically a frequency generator designed to generate radio waves throughout the body, at a pre-set frequency, causing disease generating bacteria to wither and die. Based on the belief that all parts of the body emit electrical impulses with different frequencies that vary with health and disease, the Rife machine was developed to kill microscopic bacterium believed to cause cancer and other life-threatening health issues.
Double Barrel. Nothing scarier than a Woman with a double Barrel 12 gauge.
You may wan to buy an L, first.
Seriously, for self protection you can’t do better than an AR-15. Very light and easy to handle, easy to use and maintain, easy to aim and very lethal.
Hunting rifles might be better at 100+ yards but for self defense, you’re interested in targets within 25 yards. You want a large magazine and a rapid rate of fire. Volume is quality. If you miss with the first shot, the sounds of the second, third, fourth, etc will deter all but the most fool hardy.
Good point. :-)
I just noticed that missing “l”. I am a terrible proof reader.
—in spite of all the smart alec replies, sounds to me from your original statement about “civil unrest” you are on the right track with the DPMS .223 Sportical—
Absolutely! :-)
But...Already there are pearls of wisdom!
One of the best rifles I've found in a typical military (easily available) cartridge is the Kel Tec SU-16 series (I own a SU-16a). Kel Tec firearms are made in the USA, right down in Florida. This rifle has a gas piston system, you can fire hundreds of rounds without needing to clean or worry of jamming. VERY clean.
It's also quite light-weight, meaning you can carry more ammunition (it does take standard AR-15/M-16 magazines - I have a dozen Magpul PMAGs). It folds in half making it easier to carry/conceal as needed. And it doesn't look like the traditional "evil black rifle" so it doesn't draw attraction (until you slap in a 30 round magazine).
With a 3-9 variable scope on top, it's plenty good out to 200 yards. No problem close-in as well.
Now, if you're looking for something a little more up-close-and-personal (self defense/home defense at ranges of 75 yards and less only) then their 9mm carbine - the SUB2000 - is a definite winner. Folds in half as well (down to 16" long - tiny!), is light, and takes the ubiquitous Glock G17 magazines. Many will mock a 9mm as underpowered, but coming out of a 16" barrel, that "wimpy" round packs more energy than a 357 Magnum. Plenty to get the job done.
You can usually find an SU-16 variant for $600 or less; the SUB2000 for $300 or less. Affordable, highly reliable, easy to clean, standard-magazine using, US built firearms. Yes, I'm a fan of the Kel Tecs; for the price of a typical DPMS AR-15 rifle, I have an equivalent (SU-16A), a very compact carbine (SUB2000), and a pair of conceal carry/personal defense pistols (A P32 and a PF9). And a few hundred rounds for each.
And for those who WILL tell you "it's a toy" ask them if they would do this to their AR-15. You can read the entire torture test procedure here - it's plenty tough, doesn't jam (gas piston operation like the AK means spent gas doesn't dump back through the chamber like on a standard AR-15), very light (don't underestimate the advantage of saving 4 pounds - that's a few extra magazines), and low cost.

I concur with most here, a shotgun is far better for home (point)defense than an assault rifle.
Since you mentioned you wanted it in case of civil unrest, you can also consider a semi-auto rifle chambered in a pistol cartridge like .45 ACP. These are preferred by our special forces for close-quarters combat and will still give you moderate range in case you have to fight and flee at the same time.
because with a rifle you can go on offense when the time is right.
All...for shotguns just for home protection what barrel length is recommended?
holy cow.
EMFs are used?
I fink the long-grain rife ith good.
Fried rife ith altho tathty.
That being said DPMS makes a fine rifle. 5.56/.223 would be a fine caliber for what you want it for; accurate, low recoil and causes enough damage.
