The AR-15 is nothing special. There are several semi-auto rifles that function much the same going back to the 1920's. Rifles with much better cartridges then the 5.56 mm. which isn't even legal for deer hunting, and is a enemic sub-caliber. The only reason the military uses it (M-16) is to reduce weight for Soldiers, and have a common cartridge with NATO. For years now the military has tried to improve that round and failed. They are now looking at dumping it for 6.8 mm, with a heavier bullet. Other then the fact that it "looks military", and is black seems to be why liberals hate it. In other words they are just plain racist.
