Actually having a shotgun is much better for home defense.

A Shotgun not only makes it much easier for you to hit your target (Cause you know, trying to avoid a spread of pellets is kind hard to do), but also the intimidation factor is there too. It's common knowledge, but it's honestly a more safer, and smarter purchase you could make.

You are right, they have a Nice 2016 and a Paris 2015 (80+ killed by a man with a truck and 130 killed by several men with firearms).

Republic of Keshiland wrote:Lets go over the 4 reasons people have said they think we need guns

1. To stop a tyrannical federal government- I would be willing to support the military being split up with about 1% of each state's population being in the armed services and requiring the consent of the state to let them go on federal missions you know like the original intention of the 2A state militias. But there is a 0% chance all 80M armed Americans beating the federal military if they did not defect.


Because as we all know, the only government that could possibly become tyrannical is the Federal Government. There's no possible way that a state government could go along with the Federal Government.

Republic of Keshiland wrote:2. Self protection- Why do you need anything more than 10 bullet revolver that does not use a magazine to do that? No semi auto big mag gun is necessary.


Well, each intruder needs three bullets, minimum. Two in their cavity one in their dome. Here is an example of needing, at minimum, 18 rounds of ammunition to do that.


Republic of Keshiland wrote:3. Hunting- Why do you need anything more than a 10 mag hunting rifle to shoot a deer and have some food to eat.


What if there's 11 deer?

Republic of Keshiland wrote:4. Shooting at the range- Why do you need anything more then a 10 bullet revolver that does not use a magazine? You could allways reload on the spot. No military style semi auto's nessisary.


Because they're fun.

It's pretty much SOP at this point, though I suspect that Keshi is still around, even when offline.

What about completely banning civilian ownership of any firearms altogether? The only persons permitted to carry firearms would be active duty military and police forces. If you’re not on active duty in the police or the military, you will arrested simply for possession of a firearm. All civilian firearms would be confiscated. Those that don’t comply face arrest. Sure, such plans go against all American ideas (2nd Amendment), but these plans are the only solution that works. Rights should not stand in the way of goals (ends>means).

That just sounds like communism with more steps.
