Name those differences? I'll hold my breath while I wait.

The AR style rifle was designed as a military weapon. It has a rapid fire capability, a pistol grip, and a large magazine.
No it wasn't.
No military in the world would carry and AR.
The Ar-15 was specifically designed for the civilian market, and as such was never designed with Mil=Spec standards.
Literally they are apples to oranges.

I'm confused. In the other thread, which you quickly left after being exposed, you were ok with gun confiscation for Muslims and mosques, but now you get upset at the White House suggesting an assault weapons ban?
You're not very consistent.
You guys prattle on about not demonize mostly peaceful Muslims, but you demonize mostly peaceful guns owners and think nothing of it.
I am a peaceful gun owner and I'm only trying to hold people to account for their beliefs. Neo was all for gun confiscation under an AWB when it happened in France to Muslims, but opposes it here in the US.
Three mosques shut down in anti-terror raids as officers seize 330 war weapons That's something Americans will never hear being done here. Cause it would be 'racist'. Vivre France!
I really wish people would bother to READ. So 3 mosque's raided- places of worship and seize 330 weapons. People come up with 'Neo supports gun confiscation'. Just quit while you all are behind.

Well when people normally kick and scream their rights are being violated, it's normally for a need. You are very right you have the right to one, because that is the mentality.
It normally stems from a need or desire. If you have neither than why would you come to that opinion. I ask these questions cos I genuinely want to know. I try to understand but am often met with constitutional rights as a justification for these opinions.

Sadly what needs to be done is a review of the laws already in place and eliminate redundant laws and out-dated laws.

On the left a .223 hunting rifle, on the right an AR-15 "assault" rifle. Both chambered in .223. Both fire the same round, the same number of rounds, at the same muzzle velocity, with the same ballistic characteristics. Functionally identical weapons in every way, yet under the AWB one is legal one is not. Stupidity at its utmost.
And not one gun grabber will understand your point, because the black one is a full auto machine gun meant exclusively for use on a battle field, CNN told them, and everyone knows, they wouldnt lie.
There are also some very distinct differences between the two that make them two complete different firearms. Under military standards, they are not comparable.

You are correct. My premise was based on a definition provided in another thread and based off the responses I was clearly wrong.
If everything you say is true, and it is merely a cosmetic affect, why is there an initiative to get rid of them. Is it for the "terror it can incite" or can they be easily modified beyond there stock capabilities. There has to be a reason no? I understand now why people are so "enraged " if this is the case but what is the justification for this initiative by Obama?
Trying to undrstand...please be gentle.lol
