No, AR-15’s are semi-auto.

They PROBABLY are not assault rifles - most likely they are semiautos. But who knows? Still way better than a handgun!

Not if they’re ARs. Wonder why it took them so long to do this. I suspect Ole Jug Ears and his monkeys over in DHS & Justice won’t be happy.

They don't need group therapy mode. It's pretty useless anyway, for most circumstances. And the modern version is 3 round bursts.

I admit I didn’t read the article, but does it say the Janet Nincompoopo is going to let them have actual bullets? More than one?

Yeah: But the problem is that if one of them uses this weapon and shoots a Mexican they will get locked up and thrown under the jail.

Happy story. The folks in southern Arizona need some of these, too.

I did use a full automatic AR-15 in basic, decades ago, it had the old three prong flash suppressor.

Who needs full auto anyway? Semi-auto is better.
