It's even sillier to ban the sale of a weapon based on cosmetics
Those so called "Cosmetics" have a purpose and that purpose is to make the AR the best human killing machine ever made that is that portable. Regardless of what you think or claim, the AR is the record holder for body count for a rifle in mass shootings and it's become a Cult. You can't change that without making other changes you are fighting tooth and nail against. The biggest change would be to elevate the age of being able to purchase or own an AR to 21 since most of the Mass Murders using the AR have been done by people below the age of 21 that bought their weapons legally. But your love for your precious AR far exceeds your love for children.
