What do you consider a likely U.S scenario where the rifle would be a better weapon than a shotgun or handgun.
To me the two likely scenarios that come to my mind are riots/mob violence and or protection after a natural or man made disaster. Both of these to me would be better handled with a shotgun. Being in the U.S there isn't any scenarios short of full nuclear exchange that would disrupt local law enforcment for any length of time and shooting people at a distance will definitely have the DA throwing the book at you when its over. And at close range it seems most agree that the SG is better.
