Yes. AR-15s are substantially cheaper to own for people who want one. Owning one (or a hundred) isn't regulated like owning a select-fire weapon is.Yes, it is a substantial difference that everybody is aware of. That's why I excluded it from the discussion. I'm trying to find any other substantial differences that might exist. You know of any?.Are you still trying to hide that you want the AR banned because "there's no substantial differences between the two"?OK. Since you can't point out any fault in this OP, I assume we are in agreement.Again -- I have no obligation to defend a claim I didn't make.I never said the AR was. I did say that other than the multi-fire capability, there were no substantial differences in the two. That is, unless you can name those substantial differences.Yes. But the AR-15 is not. By the definition you cited.I read the entire thing. You agree the M4 is an assault rifle though, like I said in the OP --- right?You didn't read far enough.Our military and the NRA disagree with youThe M4 is the main rifle used by the US military, and no one could question that it is an assault rifle. The M4 is capable of full automatic fire, and 3 round burst, and the AR15 is not. Of course, it would be illegal, but the AR15 can easily be converted to allow those types of fire. Other than that difference, what makes an M4 an assault weapon, and an AR15 not?
Another Democrat spewing Hitler's propaganda.
The M4 is a carbine rifle, not an "assault rifle". "Assault rifle" is just a ridiculous term that the Nazi's made up out of thin air when they renamed the MP 43 to make it sound scary for propaganda purposes.
Only Nazis call any rifle an "assault rifle".

- Assault Rifle
By U.S. Army definition, a selective-fire rifle chambered for a cartridge of intermediate power. If applied to any semi-automatic firearm regardless of its cosmetic similarity to a true assault rifle, the term is incorrect.
Looks like this thread is over.
I don't know what's so hard about that to understand.
Because the semi-auto and full-auto thing is a substantial difference.
Thread's over. You need to accept it.
