I wonder what percentage of people really know what AR stands for.

I would bet that most think it is Assault Rifle.

I imagine it would not be so hated if the ignoramuses that want to ban it knew it was ArmaLite Rifle.

It’s been so vilified, at this point, that it doesn’t matter.

Actually, the "AR" stands for "ArmaLite", NOT "ArmaLite Rifle". The company designed two shotguns (AR-9 & AR-17), a handgun (AR-24), and several other products (including the AR-13, AR-22 & AR-23) that were definitely not rifles, and they all had "AR" model prefixes. Back when Mark Westrom ran the company, they actually used it as an advertising slogan:

"AR Stands For ArmaLite!"
