Actually if I was still doing hits I would use a bow. They are powerful ,accurate,
deadly and silent. Unlike a suppressed handgun they are perfectly legal. They even have some very compact compound bows.


I think if you are going to follow the second amendment it is important to have armour piercing bullets as the forces of fascism will be wearing body armour.
Also some hand held RPG's are a must as well. I like how someone pointed out the difference between arms and ordnance. That makes sense. To defend against fascism you would need mortars , claymores, some small full auto weapons. I could see the classic .50 being classed either as arms or ordnance.

In Canada where I live (Prince Albert Saskatchewan) we have a violent crime rate 10 times the Canadian average. Most of it is knives but their are plenty of guns as well. I am not a big fan of handguns as a weapon. They are usually used at ranges a knife or hawk would work just as well. It just makes it physically and
physiologically easier than sticking a blade into someone.
