7.62 x 39 is really cheap right now and much better than that dinky NATO round 5.56 x 45 which is going up to 350 dollars per box of 500 rounds (what a rip off!) I paid 139 dollars for 700 rounds of 7.62 x 39 and at least I know whoevers unlucky to be on the receiving end isn't going to get back up.
I recommend if you can, everyone should have at least a handgun, but you should have a rifle as well if you need to flee to the country. You can get a Yugoslavian SKS for 225 dollars! Their legal practically everywhere in the US, their milled receiver so their built very well, and good for accuracy. You don't even need magazines, load up a stripper clip 10 rounds and that's it. I even have videos that show how to field strip them.

I know a number of marines including a Jew who I talk to on paltalk who has nothing but good things to say about the SKS.
If you don't want a semi-auto and you want something even cheaper, you can get a Mosin Nagant bolt action rifle in .308, same rifle used in the Soviet Union against the Nazis, it's still a accurate firearm and you can get one as low as
$60!!!You cannot use 7.62 x 39 ammo in it, it uses a larger round known as .308, i'll post links where to buy one.

Guys, G-d forbid we end up in another situation like the holocaust, yeah that handgun will be useful for a few shots taking out thugs coming in your home, but if we end up in another situation like the warsaw ghetto, your going to need a precision type of firearm. These were the rifles used to kick out donkey in vietnam, a firearm has no loyalty, use what works.
