The Lair of The Dark Knight

Here's a question for you.

I've already asked this on Twitter, but decided to ask my LJ friends too. Feel free to reply again if you've already tweeted your reply. This question is primarily aimed at those of us who cannot own firearms due to oppressive regimes (freedom my arse), but don't let that discourage you if you are lucky enough (and that's all it is for some) to live somewhere where it is your right to own a firearm.

If you could choose to own and use any firearm that is available to civilians in the USA, what would it be and why?

In my twitter post I had just mentioned that I would choose to own a Ruger Mini-14 Tactical, then added a H&K USP Compact after murries mentioned pistols.

Both choices would be due to their compact size, accuracy and reliability, as well as using common forms of ammunition (.223 Remington/5.56x45mm and 9mm Parabellum respectively, although the compact has other calibres available).

Send your answers on a postcard in a comment. :3
