Since Trump’s election, gun groups catering to progressives and people of color report a surge in interest as they look to defend themselves in a country that, to them, feels increasingly unstable.

Burst fire/full auto is what makes it an assault rifle. Whether we should ban the ar-15 is a separate conversation. My point is if you have strong opinions about something you should know what you’re talking about about and use proper terminology. You’re wrong when you call the ar-15 an assault rifle. That’s not good for your argument. It makes you easy to ignore.
I may not have been very clear. I’m not arguing that it is or isn’t an “assault rifle”. I don’t care what it’s named. My point is that an AR15 is at its most essential function (high-capacity semi-auto rifle) the same as a military weapon. Like I said, I’m not making a judgement on whether everyone should be allowed to own military weapons or not. I’m just pointing out that that’s what it is.
It’s not a military weapon. It’s a civilian weapon that is shaped like a military weapon. Nobody in the military is carrying an ar-15.
