Assume I am an evil ruler and my general comes into the oval office, interrupts me from watching The Price Is Right, while I'm eating my PB&J.
He informs me that we are meeting resistance in The Village. My instruction would be as follows: send a drone to take out the whole block and if continues flatten The Villages.
Now I know this is totally ridicules, but what I'm trying to get across, if the day ever comes where this country is taken over by a dictators, there are no weapons that can match what the government has stock pilled.

If it WERE ever necessary to fight back against a US tyrannical government, the weapon of CHOICE would be a bolt action sniper rifle that had long-range accuracy up to 1000 yards in a caliber like a 300 Winchester Magnum. A 223 caliber semi-auto AR 15 type rifle is for short-range firefights and would NOT be as useful for snipers. A sniper needs to shoot from long distance and then relocate or hide their rifle against an established tyrannical government.
