Everything is an AR-15. Even this.

As the Crime Prevention Research Center has pointed out many times, television crime shows seem to think criminals are constantly using machine guns to commit crime. This episode of CBS’s NCIS LA (Season 12, Episode 8, January 10, 2021) has an agent warn: “those are AR-15s.” The gun then fires like a machine gun.
In real life, criminals generally use machine guns so rarely that a 2016 survey of prison inmates only broke down the numbers for uses in crime of handguns (11.2%), rifles (0.8%), and shotguns (1.1%). There are few rifles, and the survey did not even mention fully automatic weapons. Since 1934, there are only two known uses ever of a machine gun being used in a murder. And even before 1934, they were very rare.

I remember on shows like the Dukes of Hazzard or Enos, it was really only handguns that were used (along with Uncle Jesse’s hunting rifle). Watched an episode of Vega$ on YouTube not long ago and a lever action rifle was featured.
There is no confusion on the part of the show producers, but there is an effort by the networks to confuse the public in preparation for Biden’s push for more gun control.
Hollywood experts always in fail mode.
Stupid people don’t realize they are stupid. Beauty is skin deep, stupid goes clear to the bone. If this is a hard riddle for some, they are washing stupid peoples bodies when they shower.
How many people can really afford to shoot ammo at $150+ per minute?
On Dukes of Hazzard Bo and Luke were on parole or probation for moonshine making, so they could not own a gun. When a gun-type situation occurred they would just tie a stick of dynamite to an arrow and shoot that. Yeeeeee-hawwwwww!
I think at 450 to 600 rpm, I think you forgot a zero at $150 but you did add the + sign. :)
Right out of the Josh Sugarmann playbook.
” Assault weapons’ menacing looks, coupled with the public’s confusion over fully-automatic machine guns versus semi-automatic assault weapons —anything that looks like a machine gun is assumed to be a machine gun— can only increase the chance of public support for restrictions on these weapons.”
– Josh Sugarmann
Negative. The AR-15 was the civilian version of the M-16. The M-16 was the military version and had the full auto selector. The AR-15 only had/has the Safe and Fire. Selection.
Yes and do recall that as well. Uncle Jesse could keep his shotgun but gave up making ‘shine, lol.
You’re both right.

There was a rifle, made by Armalite while they were trying to get an Army contract, called the AR-15, which was select-fire. This design became the M-16.
Then Armalite sold the design to Colt in 1959. Colt then came out with a semi-auto version of the rifle called the Colt AR-15, which they sold to civilians.
Two different rifles, two different companies, both called AR-15.
The communist’s propaganda operations are endless...
Vega$ was a great show.
I used to like NCIS, NCIS LA, and NCIS NO, but they’re too leftist for me now. We dropped DISH because there’s not much to watch anymore.
Again, the bad guys in the episode were foreign operatives.
They were shown to have had plenty of resources to convert AR-15’s to M-16’s.
I was figurin’ $.50 per round (9mm or 45 ACP) at 300 rpm.
Everything is an AR-15. Even this.
They don’t care.
