    sturmgewehr; has features including a relatively short cartridge, controllable automatic fire, a more compact design than a battle rifle with a quicker rate of fire, and intended for hitting targets within a few hundred metres. AR15 does not intentionally fire automatic.

    Similarity? The 2a should prevent the government from infringing on the right of the people to keep and bear either. I'm not going to argue that AR-15's aren't "assault rifles" as much as I'm going to argue that we have an inalienable right to keep and bear assault rifles. It's like trainers that flip a lid if you say "weapon" instead of "firearm" because they view "weapon" as politically incorrect. I'll unapologetically refer to my defensive guns as "weapons", because that's their intended purpose....to be used as a weapon to stop a threat to me and my family. Hell, I don't even have a problem with "violence". I feel that violence can be a very good thing in situations where it's called for to protect innocents from harm.

    We do a lot of dancing around semantics and allow the other side to choose/redefine the battleground instead of confronting the anti side. We cede them too much ground in the ideological war of words.
