Israeli's have a better approach.

Yes, Israeli's are strict about who can own one, but the civilians can be a force multiplier.
My AR-15 does not look like that one. Much heavier, wooden stock and heavy 18” 8:1 twist barrel. Probably weighs 2X the one over her shoulder.
I hunt, my AR is chambered 5.56x45 NATO and my go-to load is 70 grain semi Spitzer SP bullets. (I have 55 gr and 62 gr bullets for plinking)
I’m partial to the 69 grain Match Burners myself. But for just plinking I use 55 grain soft points.
