“...assault weapons, like AR-15s...”

Of course, the AR15 is not an assault weapon.

The fully auto M16, its big brother, is.

Exactly, however, the left have convinced the general liberal/independent citizens that the AR-15 is an assault weapon- so now facts don’t matter- they are convinced it is-

AND, once they get that banned, then shooters will pick another SEMI-AUTOMATIC rifle to use and the left will go hard after that- calling it a ‘weapon of war’ or some such nonsense- Fact is, all guns are ‘weapons of war- or rather can be used as such- so this will NEVER end- They will keep going after one gun after another until most all but the muzzle loaders are banned=-

What if you’re defending with it? Is it a defense rifle?

The m-16 is a government issued small arm. Nothing more.

I strongly dislike the term assault rifle. It’s false and misleading, and leads right into the liberal propaganda machine.

In my opinion the 2A shouldn’t be limited by anything.
