The "civilian" AR-15 is a variant of the original AR-15 design, modified so as not to be a machine gun subject to the 1934 regs.
It doesn't "look" like an assault rifle...it is one.
Since it isn't capable of selective fire it is just another semi automatic rifle. No more,no less.
The AR 15 isn't an assault rifle per the military definition. No select fire option.
. Gun control advocates like to blur the lines and try to make the AR 15 out to be an assault rifle when it actually isn't. That's why they came up with calling it an assault weapon. A generic term that can be used for any weapon really.
