This isn't about taxonomy.
The German original is
Sturmgewehr.....
Loosely
"Assault rifle"
That is what the AR-15 was DESIGNED for.
And it was designed only once, though it has been broadly modified.
You've lost.
You just don't know it or you're some kind of masochist that likes a good beating.
No matter how many german words that mean "loosely" you throw out an AR 15 isn't an assault rifle.
You can't accept the true definition of what an assault rifle is even when it's been presented to you numerous times. Even gun control advocates pushing legislation to ban them don't use the term because they know it isn't what an AR 15 is and will get tossed. That's why they came up with the term assault weapon. To get past that pesky definition of assault rifle.
Yes the original design was submitted for testing by the military but since it wasn't a fully auto weapon it wasn't an assault rifle. It had to be modified to make it into an assault rifle for military use. That gun is the M16. Civilians don't get to enjoy those modifications because they aren't allowed to own assault rifles. We can own AR 15s because they aren't assault rifles. They're simply semi auto guns that look like assault rifles.
You can continue to flail if you like. It's quite entertaining watching you dance but in the end you've still lost the argument.
