Please quit calling post-ban rifles AR-15s. They are nothing more than semi-automatic target rifles. They ain't "militaristic" in any way shape or form. The more pro-gunners go around saying "Hey! Check out my post-ban ar-15!" the more the ignorant public actually thinks they are really "ar-15s." Remember, the Colt Match Target is actually legal in New Jersey and they banned real AR-15s. THANKS!

My post-ban ar-15 and I beg to differ. Th only difference that I can see in my post-ban vs a "militaristic" M-16 or M-4 is full auto.

Hmm...

Well, since nothing really changed mechanically between a 'PRE' and 'POST' (Colts with funky pins excluded), IIRC, it's really the same gun...

As long as I can take an M16 manual, my 'post ban semi-auto' AR reciever, and come up with something that will provoke liberal non-gun-people (who don't know what a 'selector switch' is) to ask me 'Is that an M-16? Aren't those illegal?', I'd say the moniker sticks...

Looks like an AR

Sounds like an AR

Takes AR mags

Goes together following AR build instructions, with AR parts...

Makes anti-gun-people hopping mad because you can still get it after they tried to ban it...

AR15....

Think about this!!

You and I know that these guns are AR-type rifles but Jane Doe the soccer mom doesn't. ARs were banned in 1994, guys. That's why Colts calls it's guns Match Targets and Bushy XM-15s. Not AR-15s.

Fuck Jane Doe? Uh Jane Doe votes and Jane Doe gets assault weapon bans passed by evil politcians.

Emphasizing that your post-ban is no different than your 7400 or BAR would help alot in educating non-gunners that "evil black rifles" are really "good black rifles".

To claim that your post-ban is close to your pre-ban is stupid. Your post ban is nothing more than a semi-auto rifle. Your pre-ban is closer to an M-16.

Anyway, it's your call to what you want to classify your post ban as. As for me, nothing more than a HARMLESS DAMN S-A TARGET RIFLE if anyone asks.

If there's anything that we should learn from the [b]Anti-Gun folks[/b] is that when you let them define the terms in this dispute, we've already lost!

We all know what an 'assault rifle' was!

And yet we allowed the media and the Anti-Gun folks insist on calling a semi-auto rifle by a name that already had a precise definition, that didn't include a semi-auto rifle!

So I don't think we need to budge an inch further.

If it's an AR-15 type, style, semi-auto rifle, then you may call it an 'AR-15' in my lexicon!

It's a short hand definition for something we all know and can identify.

Nope. Bushmaster can't call their rilfes AR-15's because AR-15 is trademarked.

Conversely, if you show that idiot your worried about offending that there is basically no friggin difference between a post or pre-ban AR, they might see how STUPID the AWB is and let it sunset like it should. The day I don't have to look at another buthole stock can't come soon enough!!!

Eric The Hun,

I know WE identify them as AR-15s but the anti-gunners don't. IF WE LET THE ANIT-GUNNERS CLASSIFY POST-BANS AS AR-15s then we've lost! Post-ban guns by the laws definition cannot be ARs because BATF banned their production in 1994. Pointing that out to non-gun owners would ease their fears about these "evil" guns.

If we can get the non-gun owning public to see these guns as non-militarized "sporting firearms" then we've won! When Sarah Brady calls a Colt 6700 an "assault weapon" then people who know they are no more deadly than a Browning BAR won't buy into her bullshit propaganda!

If I have a phone that looks like a shoe, do I also have a shoe? No. Just a phone that resembles one.

Devils advocate.....

By allowing a semi-auto, completely neutered , non-military target rifle to be classified as a military "assault rifle" we play right into the antis hands, by allowing them to define the terms of the debate.

In reality, all a postban AR15 IS is a step down from 75 year old technology (the M1 rifle) with a less powerful cartridge, more prone to jamming, no bayonet lug, and a 30 round magazine and a pistol grip.

Think about it - by calling it an AR15, we put it on the antis radar as the NEXT firearm to ban. When in reality its just a glorified, underpowered hunting rifle.

POSTBANS are AR15s.  When they make Postbans with fixed 10rd mags I will call it a target rifle.  A ASSAULT RIFLE has "evil features"

Evil Features Include

Telestock
Flash Suppressor
Bay Lug
High Cap Magazine
Short Barrels

Postban or not the AR15 is still like, is, and close too a M16(varient). MILITARISTIC

I think garandman has a good point here.

We should emphasize how these rifles are not even all that deadly.  After all, they fire such a weak cartridge that it is not even legal in most states to hunt deer with them.  AR-15s are really just varmint or target rifles.  You can find dozens of threads right here that make this point.

Everyone knows (have I not heard it a hundred times) ARs are intended to wound and not kill, so it much better to have criminal armed with these weapons.

Everyone also knows (have I not heard it a thousand times) that they are unreliable.  If a criminal has a gun, let us pray that he has a weak and unreliable AR-15.

Those pump or double barrel shotguns are much more dangerous.  Powerful, reliable.

Evil.

Um, first of all the AR in AR-15 stands for ARmalite, the company that employed the people who invented it most notably Gene Stoner.  They also developed the AR-7, a .22 rim fire, the AR17 a shot gun as well as many other firearms.
