A 240b is a battlefield weapon. An AR-15 is a sporting rifle designed to evoke gi-joe feelings in people who look at it..which obviously works on the gun nuts -and- you. It's a brilliant gimmick on merchandising..and, commercially, the purpose of an ar-15 is to sell accessories.
All guns are dangerous. There's no need to call any particular gun what it isn't to establish that fact. An AR-15 is dangerous regardless of the fact that it's not "a battlefield weapon", an even more vacuous term than "assault-style" rifles. It is on that ground..not on the grounds of some firearm making your joe-balls tingly, that regulations are warranted.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
