text:  Those tools help you hit the target, which means, in this case, the target is the threat. The person who has broken into your house and wants to rape your wife and cut off your head and set fire to your grandchildren, that kind of person, you want to put multiple shots on target with as much power as you can to make him stop doing what he's doing this very instant. Honestly, other than maybe a shotgun, I can make that argument. I still think the AR-15 is the best bet going. What say you?
