The second amendment protects the right to own weapons that are in common use for lawful purposes.
Is the AR15 in common use? I'd say definitely.
Keep down voting, idiots. It's literally in Heller. Read a book.

Damn 3 downvotes. Stoners design had the charging handle under the carry handle plus he never made a semi auto version. Colt also owned the rights to armalite by the time It was designated as a m16. He was an engineer getting paid to come up with gun designs for armalite. Colt bought armarlite and owns the right's to said creative property. Like I said they canfrick off. He got paid to do his job.

The constitution says the "right to bear arms shall not be infringed" not "the right to bear hunting guns for sport only shall not be infringed".

And we the people have the right to keep and bear arms that are equivalent

No way. This was a guy with no real firearms training and was mentally unstable. The reloading alone would probably take him a minute.

Where did you come up with that from? You interpreting the Constitution for us these days?

The Virginia Tech shooter killed 32 and wounded 17 more using just a pair of handguns.
Taking away AR’s doesnt solve the problem...lunatics will either obtain one illegally or use another weapon

Like what was already posted. He was an engineer that worked for a company that paid a salary for a job. It doesn't matter at that point what he wanted to use the rifle for, he had no ownership in the patent for said design.
Also, unless we hear a quote directly from the man himself, not a single frick will be given about what his pansy liberal kids want you to believe.

The team that developed GPS did so with the sole intention of it being used by the military.

A weapon designed for the military sounds perfect in defending against the military. Just as our founding fathers foresaw.

Good for them. So what? Oh and this is old as frick

Lots of technological innovations come out of military demand. So what? Once again, this displays a lack of a detailed, substance based argument as to why these weapons should be restricted. More rhetorical angles that avoid an actual analytical observation of AR's vs other platforms.
If people want to argue that AR's should be banned because of mass shootings then their argument should logically extend to all semi-auto weapons at minimum. Of course this is an argument they know damn well they are unlikely to win, thus the incremental strategy of focusing on "assault weapons."

The very first firearms in history were developed for war.
So by your logic, you should want to ban every one.

Wasn't he under contract by the US military to design that platform? Not much of a stretch. Besides, unless in mistaken, these were full auto versions.
Does the article mention that Stoner was developing an AR7 civilian survival rifle around that exact same time?
