[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Nothing makes the AR-15 “special” other than it looks different than regular old rifle. [/b]There are guns with the exact specs as the AR-15 that just are not black and “Rambo” looking, but people don’t realize that. [/quote]

And that it seems to be the favored weapon of mass shooters. Maybe they're just going for the looks, I don't know.[/quote]
It's the most popular rifle in America, and they're available everywhere. I bet the cars involved in the most DUIs are also the most popular cars. banning those cars won't stop DUIs - people will just use different cars.[/quote]

Such bs.  The gun is not about looks.  And yes once in a while you will see an AK-47, a mini-14, or an MCX.  That's not the point.  There is no good term for these guns, so posters are using shorthand.  Everyone gets in a huff if you say "assault rifle".  Now we can't say AR-15 because somebody *ahem* wants to point out there are other similar weapons.  So in order to have a conversation without hairspllitting we'll have to define some godawful term such as SCHV detachable magazine semiautomatic rifle, which inevitably someone will pick apart.[/quote]
