A test pilot of my acquaintance liked to talk about his adventures. A story he told about flying over Korea was about the first encounter he had with a Mig-17 fighter, after many missions facing only the Mig-15. He described the encounter as one in which he flew a pass, using a maneuver which he expected would gain him an advantage - but afterward the position was still not in his favor. He flew another pass, with the same result.
At that point, he said, “we both got the same idea at the same time - ‘This is too close to being a fair fight!’” - and both headed home at high speed. Well, firearms tend to produce that same feeling in strong people when faced with weak - but armed - people. Which is why “Equalizing weapon" is a fine description of a gun purchased, as nearly all are, for defensive purposes.
There are thousands of gun owners for each gun murder committed in a given year, and it’s not likely that a given gun murder was committed by an owner whose possession of the gun would have stood legal scrutiny even before the murder. So it’s clear that guns are bought almost exclusively for defensive purposes - and that fact has a halo effect tending to make criminals less brazen and more circumspect than they otherwise might be.

Ist choice:

B) Sport/Utility Rifle, [SUR]

C) Tyranny Response Rifle

Just to infuriate the Proppressives.

It’s just like when you call the Right to keep and bear arms a God-given Constitutionally affirmed right.

Undocumented* Personal Defense Unit. ( or some variation )
