    I think it’s because non-gun people see “AR-15”, hear it being called an assault rifle, and assume the AR stands for Assault Rifle. It doesn’t, it stands for ArmaLite Rifle, but good luck breaking that association in their minds.

      Yeah I know, I just find it real fucken annoying, its like the term assault weapon. It means nothing and is literally just a buzz word, and I really wish folks would nock it off. Learn at least a modicum about firearms before ya start yapping, I dont mind if folks want to put slight restrictions around certain weapons just dont be stupid.

      If ya think ya can create a gun completely out of 3D printed materials barrel and all. Well I have a carbon fibre submarine to sell ya.
