You do realize AR doesn't stand for assault rifle or automatic rifle. Right? It stands for Armalite which is the name of the manufacturer.

@LadyBronte i do. I know more about firearms than people realize

Good. Sadly most people mistakenly believe AR stands for assault rifle.

@LadyBronte Well that's true. Part of the reason for the confusion that is that some but not all AR products are selective fire. Though the ones people want to ban aren't. Where I come from we call something like that a "Military Style Semi-Automatic."
