Absolute popycock. The author categorizes the AR-15 as an assault rifle better known as the M-16. Clearly they do not understand the distinction of what defines assault rifle and sport rifle. That being the ability to go full automatic. To be classified as an assault rifle, it must be capable of going full automatic. It is mind boggling just how ignorant the media is. This is like calling a Ford thunderbird a sports car, which it clearly is NOT. Does it look sporty? Yes, is it in the same class as a true sports car? No.
