With plenty of uncertainty and political turmoil, I’ve seen many people looking into guns for personal and community defense for the first time. So I’m making this post to help answer questions you may have!

    What would be the best gun to shoot down a lunatic dictator who happens to be 79 years old and is suffering from a number of conditions, including dementia?

    Asking for a novel I’m writing.

      It depends on a lot of factors. Is this character up close or far away? How protected is the lunatic and what would be the best avenue for approach? Can the character get to an effective position without giving themselves away? Do they care about guards or people nearby?

      Sounds like a spicy story, I bet a lot of people would like to read it

      From what I remember of history class, a Carcano will get it done, but a Röhm .22 only causes downstream problems like huge protective services budgets, and legislative and legal battles that last decades.
