He, they're never big enough

Useless for you, in your opinion.

The right rifle can have many advantages in a home defense situation for some people.

If you can legally own a firearm do so lest you call yourself a malcontent.

I hate it when people perpetuate that myth.

If you’re new to firearms, I highly recommend taking an actual firearms class and go to the range, at least once or twice a year, if not more. IMHO, firearm ownership is a huge responsibility and something that shouldn’t be taken lightly.

Remember, you are still responsible for every bullet that leaves the barrel of your gun for both better and worse.

On a side note, shooting a gun isn’t like in the movies, so don’t learn firearms safety from Hollywood since they’re not even safe in a controlled environment…. Learn from a professional or a highly skilled person…. Please!!
Where I live at I get free access to a gun range about 5 miles away. This range also has gun classes and concealed carry classes. I was raised up with guns and I hunted for many years with them.

I have three handguns, one bolt action rifle (my old hunting rifle), a sawed off legal shotgun (this is loaded with 3" magnum buckshot) and the Hi-Point 9MM carbine.

I wholeheartedly support Americans lawfully arming themselves!!!!

Please learn how to use your gun. Go to the range, increase your proficiency. Learn trigger discipline until it is ingrained in your mind. Become one with your gun the way you do any other mechanical item that you own and use regularly.

Store your gun carefully. Very carefully.

Our Second Amendment right will only become more valuable as time marches us toward anarchy.

Not a clue.
Neither do you. Indeed some people have stopped an armed robber with a gun but why do we have so many armed robbers? Take your time with that question.
