Get a pump action 12 guage shotgun before you buy a rifle.

There are lots of threads on FR about, what gun should I buy for........ Here's a home defense thread with links to other threads. Or....

"A well-regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed." - Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution

Congress has provided (Article I - Section. 8, U.S. Constitution) the Militia with a means to arm themselves: CMP (Civilian Markmenship Program).

Luke 22:36 (KJV) --Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.

Got sword? (M1 Garand ==>CMP)

No mercy, no quarter!
May the jihadists burn in hell for eternity!
Help speed them on their way!

Bible quotes in favor of annihilating jihadists
We must be ever vigilant in protecting our inalienable rights as enumerated in the Constitution and BOR.

I think you should get a pre-ban FNFAL if you can find one.

There are several rifles that would fit this description. I would look into:

1) AK variant, like Ak-47 Bulgarian, etc. Built to take lots of punishment, and can utilize a 30 round magazine. Pretty cheap, really, tho I understand they are ALL going up up up. It looks pretty too :)

2) Some version of the AR-16, ie, semiauto of course. There are several that make fine examples in this line, Bushmaster, Colt, etc. Can also utilize a 30 round magazine. These are truly beautiful rifles but can be a bit more complicated than the old workhorse AK variants.

Use a .223 cartridge, the AK's usually use the 7.62 x 39mm round which is very inexpensive, about $90 for 1000 rounds, that's a lot of bang for the buck! Another rifle to consider would be the old M-1, or even the older SKS. Anyone of these rifles would serve you well in a situation you describe.

Always remember, safety first, and for goodness sakes PRACTICE!

For a general purpose rifle, my vote would be for AR-15.
