If you're barricaded in your apartment, then a shotgun is fine. But as far as making a difference or joining up with others, you'll be largely useless in any group setting.
That said, I can't think highly enough of those who go from nothing at all to buying a pistol or shotgun. At least you won't be meat for the grinder.
But ideally, a patriot like yourself should prepare themselves for the day when they might need to (as awful as it sounds) be incorporated into an ad hoc militia if necessary for communal defense. Pistols and shotguns are useless in such a setting.
You can find an inexpensive AR for less than half the cost of a new smartphone.

I'm aware. I unfortunately live in Commiefornia, things are difficult here. I may also have some legal issues preventing me from owning a gun right now, I'm not 100% sure, but I really do need to go speak with a lawyer soon before the shortage takes literally ALL ammo.
But hey, I do appreciate the positive words, thank you.
I understand. But just keep in mind that whatever obstacles you are up against now, will only get worse as time goes on. It's already harder to buy an AR in California in 2020, than it was in 2015.
Still. It's absolutely the case that government has spent an inordinate amount of effort on making such a basic right a bureaucratic nightmare to overcome, and I fully empathize.
I picked up my AR-15 at Rural King last Sunday. I purchased online on 7/31. At the store, I had to wait 30 minutes for my background check to go through. The longest I've ever had to wait.
