It seems the argument that a AR-15 isn't a weapon of war didn't stand up. I wonder why? Could it be the carnage that they leave in their wake?

The United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit overturned an injunction against Illinois’ “assault weapons” ban, ruling that AR-15s are not protected by the Second Amendment.

The decision was made by a three-judge panel, with two judges finding similarities between AR-15s and M16s, and one judge dissenting, arguing that the ban lacks historical precedent.

In the case Bevis v. City of Naperville, Judge Michael P. Brennan said, “Because the banned firearms and magazines warrant constitutional protection, and the government parties have failed to meet their burden to show that their bans are part of the history and tradition of firearms regulation, preliminary injunctions are justified against enforcement of the challenged laws.”

Are these judges firearms experts, familiar with operations, maintenance and repair of either the M16 or the AR15? A Ruger mini 14 has a very similar operation as the AR15, shooting the .223 round in semiautomatic fashion, but no scrutiny for it because it's not black. These judges are r****t.

Why all the nonsence? The Supreme Court is not going to let this lower Court ruling stand. Just because one gun looks like another gun is no reason to ban that gun. A m16 is a fully automatic weapon if selected to do so. A ra 15 is a semi automatic weapon that doesn't have an automatic se*****r.

The AR is not, say again NOT, a weapon of war! In all the world there is no recognized national government issuing AR-15's to its troops as a main battle rifle! As a military grade weapons system, it is substandard.

These ignorant lunatics have beaten this dead horse into pudding.
And, you bring up a very good point.
My grandfather's M-1 Garand was the main battle rifle for many years, and it functions much the same as an AR, and shoots a much more powerful cartridge. It was retired because select fire, and lighter ammo came into play.
In my opinion, anyone using the "weapon of war" argument is a booger eating moron.

There are handguns that fire heavier ammunition than does an AR.

There were many in the military who questioned switching to the M16 because they felt it didn’t have the power of the M14.

No, that couldn't be the reason because the AR15 is not a weapon of war, it just looks like one.

I reckon if you asked a Marine or a Navy Seal if he'd take an AR15 into combat,
he'd tell you to shove it up your ass.

And, the idea that the AR15, a semi-auto mid-caliber, mid-range rifle, is a WMD that can mow down entire neighborhoods with one sweep is an unprecedented exaggeration. You'd think that bad boy had a mind of its own.

OK, Peter, which of these rifles are AR15s and which are M16s?

Maybe it's your arm pits,

Who knows?
You're the only one who smells it.
