I presume you are being somewhat sarcastic; however, if you really are considering a weapon for a “world gone mad” scenario; the choice would depend somewhat on your abilities/physical size etc.
You might want to consider ammo availability before deciding upon a specific weapon. (For instance, lots of 9mm Parabellum/.45 ACP/.223 or 5.56mm available at bargain prices because those have long been in use by U.S. Military/NATO forces ...and pick a weapon that has a similarly good supply of critical spare parts available.
I would also consider a good shotgun for home defense/CQB ...the venerable Remington 870 Pump is cheap (Police version is best for durability/reliability) ...there are others, of course equally good.
Lots of experienced shooters on FR ...ask around.
Gook luck!
Thanks. The question was dead serious.
Mostly I’m thinking of home defense. I don’t even know what a revolution would look like here. If the US can be considered a battlefield now, with the military being able to shoot on anybody, everything is in place for Obama to declare martial law when the whole world economy totally crashes and/or Israel strikes Iran before year’s end and Iran responds with an EMP or other attack. There’s nothing standing in the way of the US being occupied by our own troops, with Obama calling the shots from Hawaii - which has a missile defense system in place, just recently tested - and which can block access from Hamas and Hezbollah operatives like the ones that would come up through our southern border.
The stage is pretty well set. Obama has already pre-arranged to be in the safest place and to make sure he can do to the rest of us suckers what he darn well pleases when the doo-doo hits the fan.
I don’t know if they would want to take our house from us right away. I just don’t know how communists do their “redistribution”. I suppose re-indoctrination camps, huh?
Maybe we need a gun that would most invite the military to shoot us all dead at the same time so we can go quickly without having to commit suicide. I don’t know; maybe that’s a copout. If we’re called to suffer torture it’s in the Lord’s hands, right?
My mind is reeling. I knew the country was in bad shape but I had hoped there was still a chance of preserving it. Alas, it’s much later than I had thought. All the Obama garbage has been to tell us one thing: resistance is futile. And apparently Sarah agreed, and now Cain agrees. Nobody else even seems interested in resisting, as far as I can tell. And if they were interested the same thing would happen to them as happened to Sarah and Cain.
Rand Paul pushed the bill that would give Obama the final ability to occupy the US. I wonder if it still has to be passed by the House. Then again, the military just got done telling Lakin that combat orders don’t have to be lawfully authorized, so why even worry about what powers the POTUS lawfully has. God knows neither Obama, nor Holder, nor any of their cronies have worried about it one bit... And Issa says whatever Obama decides about the criminal activity of his administration is fine...
I still feel like I’m living in an alternate reality. How can this all be happening? It really feels just like the scene from “Left Behind” where Nicholas Carpathia kills the 2 “greedy bankers” in front of the UN group and everybody covers for him and says it was “such a tragedy” that the bankers committed suicide. I remember thinking, when I first saw that this summer, that it seemed surreal. But I had already seen enough from the eligibilty issue to know that it’s very possible for people to see a crime in progress and still honestly believe it is something else - like Yuri Bezmenov said happens when the demoralization stage of subversion is complete. I’ve been saying that if it could happen with the eligibility issue it could happen with everything, but I think I was emotionally still believing that the sane people could keep it from happening. I guess not.
My side of the family was going to have a get-together around the New Year, but maybe at least my husband and kids and I should go see my parents before then. The New Year might be too late.
