The Differences of an AR15 and an Assault Rifle
.
Just about everyone thinks that AR-15 is an assault weapon. This because they think or have been told wrong. They have been told that AR means, assault rifle, when in fact it stands for the manufacture which is, Armalite, it is in fact just a long gun. Remember an assault weapon must be able to fire not only as a single shot weapon but must be able to fire automatic. If it can't fire in automatic mode it is not an assault weapon, its just a rifle period. A single shot rifle fires a single shot with one pull of the trigger. A weapon in automatic mode will fire shots as long as the trigger is held back. The AR-15 is not an automatic weapon.
.
Something to show all of the anti-gun people out there that think an AR-15 fires rounds like an M-16.
