Back in Clinton's day it was suggested that any firearm that had been used by the military should be banned, that would have included bolt action rifles.
This is why civilized discussions on gun "regulation" are so difficult. Gun advocates always wants to split hairs to the point that original intent and common sense are obliterated by obscure reference and smothered by a blanket interpretation of the 2nd Amendment. Then they feed their illogical conclusions to the voting public in the form of a horror movie. 
An AR15 is an AR15 thats all it is, it's not a civilian version of an M16 it a wanna be!
The AR-15 was first built by ArmaLite as a selective fire assault rifle for the United States armed forces. Because of
financial problems, ArmaLite sold the AR-15 design to Colt. The select-fire AR-15 entered the US military system as the M16 rifle. Colt then marketed the Colt AR-15 as a semi-automatic version of the M16 rifle for civilian sales in 1963.
Have you ever looked at the two side by side? The biggest and most importent difference is in the lower reciever, the M16 has select fire (auto/brust) and semi the AR has only semi.
Kits to convert are NOT AVAILABLE and if a gun can be easily converted it is illegal under BATFE rules.
AAHH!! You do realize that there is a deference between an assualt weapon and an assault RIFLE? Assault rifles ARE capable of full auto fire. I know that small tidbit of info dosn't matter to newsies and political types but it should be noted!
The term assault weapon is a United States political and legal term used to describe a variety of semi-automatic firearms
that have certain features generally associated with military assault rifles. The 1994 Federal Assault Weapons Ban, which expired on September 13, 2004, codified the definition of an assault weapon. It defined the rifle type of assault weapon as a semiautomatic firearm with the ability to accept a detachable magazine containing more than 10 rounds, and two or more of the following: Folding or telescoping stock Primary pistol grip Forward grip Threaded barrel (for a muzzle brake or a suppressor, commonly called a silencer) Barrel shroud The assault weapons ban did not restrict weapons capable of fully automatic fire, such as assault rifles and machine guns, which have been continuously and heavily regulated since the National Firearms Act of 1934 was passed. Subsequent laws such as the Gun Control Act of 1968 and the Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986 also affected the importation and civilian ownership of fully automatic firearms, the latter fully prohibiting sales of newly manufactured machine guns to non-law enforcement or SOT (special occupational taxpayer) dealers.
The term assault rifle is a translation of the German word Sturmgewehr (literally "storm rifle", as in "to storm a
position"). The name was coined by Adolf Hitler[3] to describe the Maschinenpistole 43, subsequently renamed Sturmgewehr 44.

That "rifle?" is amazing. If you were confronting a REALLY BIG "Alien" and needed to blow him to smitherenes, that would be MY weapon of choice.
But, it doesn't fit the description of an "assault weapon" or EVEN that of an assault rifle. But... I DO have some questions that I hope you (or others) can help me with. I watched the video, and I considered the "REPORT" (or sound) of that weapon to be much LESS audible or debilitating as that of other weapons/rifles. Did I miss something? Did the videographers delete (or muffle) the sound? Did the "tin" roofing (or whatever that was) NOT exacerbate the NOISE? NO.... I think that THAT rifle could be fired without the headgear! As for it being an "assault" rifle... well, it certainly "assaulted" the shoulder of the one doing the firing! Wow.  Now... somebody help me! I THINK I understand the concept of a "center fire" weapon (as it was described in the video.) WHAT does that mean? Please give an example and definition of a weapon that is NOT "center-fired."
