Depending on the perpetrator and the circumstance really decides what kind of self defense weapon of choice one should consider. During any upcoming civil unrest one might actually find the AR15 platform quite useful to protect your homestead and supplies, however depending on the time of day you may change your tactics as AR15’s are not the most comfortable to sleep with; and your likely targets will be inside 30’ so I would recommend a 1911 under the pillow. If the government forces are coming to bring you to a detention facility, or force vaccinate your family you mighty rather consider something in .338 Lapua or .300 Winmag to ‘reach out’ and get their attention from a safer distance of 500-800 yards or so. So you can see, how is anyone really to say what anyone should or shouldn’t actually have - it’s really quite situationally dependent.
