Bringing a pistol to a rifle fight is like bringing a knife to a pistol fight.
Long range is the way to go.
My preferred firearm is one that is loaded.
I would say my preferred firearm is the one I control.
I would not like a loaded firearm in the hands of someone else (that is a threat to me, obviously im pro 2A).
I think that's Clint Eastwood who said "My gun control policy is that if there's a gun in the room I want to be in control of it".
Excellent point!
