Strange...
The MCX I had before it self destruct, wouldn't take any Geissele AR trigger I had. They have different specifications than an AR.
Nor was it branded as an AR.
It accepts stanag mags. As does most .223 Sporting rifles. Including the Aug and Tavor.
It's not an AR.
Just like the ACR and SCAR. They're not the same.

Definition of assault rifle
: any of various intermediate-range, magazine-fed military rifles (such as the AK-47) that can be set for automatic or semiautomatic fire
also : a rifle that resembles a military assault rifle but is designed to allow only semiautomatic fire

When was that revision made? When the media was called out for using hollow buzzwords?

Trump is not technically wrong, i dont think anyone can make an argument that if a place has armed guards it will be less likely to a target of a mass shooter. If your answer to gun violence is to have armed guards everywhere I think most people find that not palatable. Thats along the same lines of abstinence being the solution to stds or ten pregnancy, no one is arguing that it doesn't work. The implementation now.

You very myopic take on this issue was that armed guards are a solution. What did I miss? Is this some of that 4D hungry hungry hippos you guys like to play. Do I have to watch youtube videos of a shirtless dude in a leather jacket to be red pilled enough to understand your inane rhetoric?

Again ARs are made both ways and you can interchange the upper so the same weapon can go both ways.

Strange you folks don't read your own literature.

They are not one in the same. Not at all.

AR15 is not an assault rifle. Period. No matter how much you want it to be it isnt.
They are the same in every respect but one, those people that were killed don't really have a deep appreciation for the nuances between full auto and semi. Call it whatever you want if you don't like the term assault rifle, these arguments on semantics are boring.

I knew it was there from years ago. NVplumber also makes the case that one of the largest drivers of the semi-auto definition was the gun industry.
