This is funny, you still are not aware of the discussion and you fail to understand that an AR-15 IS a "machine gun".
Maybe he'd understand it better if it were actually true. It isn't. An AR-15 isn't even an "assault rifle", because it is semi-automatic without a burst-fire capability; it is a civilian model sporting rifle for use in hunting and target shooting. The M-16 is an assault rifle, because it is a small caliber rifle with burst-fire capability. The M-60 is a machine gun, because it is a fully automatic weapon that fires rifle ammunition.
The sheer ignorance of firearms and firearm terminology among gun control advocates is one of the main reasons that gun enthusiasts don't take their arguments seriously; quite frankly, it is obvious that they are talking about things that they do not possess the least bit of knowledge about and that they are not interested in becoming educated about. Under a rational government, this level of staggering ignorance would disqualify them from writing and passing laws about it.
