The claim often heard from those attempting to pass more gun control legislation is that all they’re trying to do is get the “weapons of war off our streets,” but it’s simply untrue that “weapons of war” are available to the general public. You’d last about three minutes in a conventional war with an AR-15, even with one of the most aggressive builds you can get your hands on (that doesn’t mean it’s impossible for guerilla uprisings to defeat powerful enemies). The truth is that the only people with “weapons of war” on America’s streets are, increasingly, the police. |

Tactics and strategies, and knowing how to use cover and concealment, and how to fight a war, are more important in a war than whether your gun is a full auto M-4 or a semiauto M4orgery.
The preeminent arm of WW2 was the semiauto M1 Garand. The "also ran" was the semiauto M-1 carbine. The B. A. R. and Thompson submachinegun were third stringers.
If you only last 3 minutes in a SHTF it won't be the gun to blame. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Some of the worst abuses of government force in recent years were precipitated by technical and victimless gun-law violations. For example, the BATF claimed that the Branch Davidians possessed machine guns without paying the required federal tax and filling in the proper registration forms. So a tax case worth less than $10,000 led to a 76-man helicopter, machine gun, and grenade assault on a home in which 2/3 of the occupants were women and children. — Dave Kopel and Dr. Michael S.
