You claimed that an AR-15 was a military weapon Used by the military. In fact you demanded I provide a link proving that an AR-15 was not a weapon used by the US military.Not from the image that was shown in the article. Could you?
You said the cops could have misidentified it.
That was BEFORE they released the pertinent information as to exactly what occurred in the mall that I subsequently posted.
Why do timelines confuse you?
Has no one ever explained the concept of events unfolding?
Does everything have to be fixed in the past in order for your one dimensional synapse to grasp it?
It's been an AR-15 from the beginning.
So whats your excuse for your ignorance now?
Only person who needs an excuse for his ignorance is you.
I provided all of the latest information as I came across it. It is imbeciles like yourself who are sadly mistaken about the timeline.
Try rereading the thread again.
If you go to the Wiki link you will discover that the AR-15 was originally designed for the US military and was then redesigned and renamed the M16.
AR-15 - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
The AR-15 was first built in 1959 by ArmaLite as a small arms rifle for the United States armed forces.
After modifications, the redesigned rifle was adopted as the M16 rifle.

Colt marketed the AR-15 rifle to various military services around the world. After modifications (most notably the relocation of the charging handle from under the carrying handle to the rear of the receiver), the redesigned rifle was adopted by the United States military as the M16 rifle.[15]
In 1963, Colt started selling the semi-automatic version of the M16 rifle as the Colt AR-15 for civilian use and the term has been used to refer to semiautomatic-only versions of the rifle since then.

Furthermore if you read post #93 above you will see that one of your fellow room temp IQ Gun Fetishists described the M16 as identical to the military spec AR-15.

So yes, the AR-15 and the M16 are the same weapon with different designations for civilian and military use. The civilian gun obviously doesn't have the full automatic option either but that is irrelevant to the OP topic.
