Something I've learned from skimming these 9 pages: I need an AR.
Yes, yes you do. Or at least some kind of modern rifle. The case for 30 round magazines has been made again. Make sure you buy several and keep them full and ready to go.
.223 ammo is a bit hard to find for decent prices right now, so you'll likely end up ordering and paying quite a bit. Don't pass on a quality AK either if you find one. I enjoy shooting mine far more than my ARs actually.
ARs were starting to become slightly more available, until today. Now they've almost vanished again.
I found 1 online at Buds Gun Shop. They're a very reputable company. I've purchased from them myself.
https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/719017114/ruger+556+nato+16+30rdPalmetto State Armory has some of their brand available and a few others. Some people love them, others don't. I can't speak for how good they are or not. Just remember anything with a barrel under 16" is classified as a short barrel rifle which is under the NFA. Far more trouble than its worth if you want it quickly.
https://palmettostatearmory.com/guns/ar-rifles-pistols/ar-rifles.htmlThe ammo is even harder to find, and it is not cheap. Outdoor Limited has 1000 rounds of .223 available for $800. Last month it was around $500. If anyone interested, here is the link. Probably be sold out within an hour.

There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill
