Millhouse “AR-15 is not an assault rifle. It’s an ordinary semi-automatic rifle like any other”
An Ar 15 is in fact an assault rifle. now granted it depends how “assault rifle” is defined,
here are the webster definitions
1) any of various intermediate-range, magazine-fed military rifles (such as the AK-47) that can be set for automatic or semiautomatic fire
2) a rifle that resembles a military assault rifle but is designed to allow only semiautomatic fire
An Ar 15 is an assault rifle under, certainly the second definition in that it resembles a millitary style weapon.
There are of course other definitions as well, such as the presence of a pistol grip or flash suppressor, both of which are present on a standard Colt AR -15
that said Lotr’s post was silly as every single one of his points (even if true) is unrelated to this thread
