Have "we" created our own problem by calling ALL semi-automatic similar built rifles AR's? The first AR15 was made by Armalite Corporation which resulted in using the first 2 letters of their name for the rifle they produced. It has nothing to do with Assault Rifle (AR) designation by media and others. Savage calls their semi-automatic MSR which is correct terminology. S&W calls them M&P.
FYI The Federal Government ordered similar rifles for domestic agencies and called them "Personal Defense Weapons".
So why do "we" call them generically AR's when that term is so misunderstood by most people and a firestorm topic in the media?
So what do you think? Big deal? Don't care?
