[QUOTE="Coyote Shadow Tracker, post: 2549561, member: 116439"] I started this Post due to the confusion on the Governments' part to correctly identify the AR Firearm and what politicians THINK "AR" stands for a the proposed upcoming "BAN" on all AR style firearms. [B]INGORANCE IS DANGEROUS![/B] The truest definition that I have found is: " [B]In reality, AR stands for ArmaLite rifle. ArmaLite is the company that originated the design for the AR style of rifle back in the 1950s. [I][/I][/B] [I][B]And while we're decoding ARs, the number simply refers to the model number of the rifle, not to a barrel length, capacity, or anything else."[/B][/I] [B]The first widely produced AR rifle was the AR-5, a .22 Hornet survival rifle "[I]BOLT ACTION[/I]". It was adopted by the US Air Force as the MA-1 Survival Rifle. Shortly after, the AR-7, the semi-automatic civilian version of the AR-5, was released, chambered for .22 LR. This Post has hit a nerve with a lot of members and kind of got sidetracked from the original question. BUT I think that it is good for all of us to have open minds and the intelligence to see what the DEFINITION or an "AR" means to certain politicians and news media. Also what their real motive is on gun control by limiting certain firearms, magazines, age of purchase and Background checks.[/B] [/QUOTE]
