All Hail the Second Amendment

[Chas]

I make no such argument.

But both parts of the problem need to be addressed.

And I don't, and never have, disagreed with that.

Well, no they don't. The military uses selective fire assault rifles like the M-16 and M-4.

I am responding to your statement that the problem is 'military grade' weapons can be bought over the counter.

Your military Chas.

Besides, what did the AR-15 become?..... you chose an incredibly bad example to indulge in your pedantic game of semantics.

My military? Which military is that?

Being correct is not the same as being pedantic.

There are other rifles with exactly the same capabilities as the AR-15 that are not military rifles, either.

The AR platform was designed by Armalite and sold to to Colt, who then sold a selective fire rifle to the military which designated it "M16A1".
Colt sold a semi-automatic rifle based on the AR design to the public, calling it "AR-15". So the AR-15 didn't 'become' anything.

So, what is it about the AR-15 that offends you?
