Because technically any rifle made after 1994 is not an AR-15. Most manufacturers have model designations other than AR-15, such as the Olympic PCR-15, etc. While post bans look markedly similar to the evil preban AR-15, they are in fact a different rifle. A true duplicate of an AR-15 would have a bayonet lug, flash hider, or other evil feature. Since post bans do not have these things, they are not duplicates of AR-15's and hence they are legal.

The only legal AR15 "semiautomatic assault weapons" were assembled on or prior to 13 Sep 94, the day the BS term became codified in law. AR15 rifles produced after that date can't have any of the very evil features listed in the Crime Bill other than the pistol grip unless they're military or law enforcement only weapons. Without these evil features an AR15 made after 13 Sep 94 is NOT a semiautomatic assault weapon. Adding evil features to make it one is illegal. -- Chuck |

The only "AR15" rifles made after 9/13/94 are LE/Gov't Only rifles in semiautomatic assault weapon (SAW) configuration that the average citizen can't legally own. Any semiautomatic rifles that meet the criteria of a SAW that were legally owned prior to 9/13/94 can be legally possessed and transferred.

Glennva has it right:
