Geraldo Rivera Says the ‘AR’ in AR-15 Means ‘Automatic Rifle’

As far as I ever understood select fire, it is: semi-auto (one trigger pull one projectile), 3 shot burst, and finally full auto. These require a huge sum of money to purchase and own because of the tax stamp (again, if I recall correctly about 10 grand), a massively long wait for a government colonoscopy and potential OK to purchase, then the actual purchase of said rare weapon that will cost a boatload of money also.

Yes, he refuted it. But he did not know what AR meant. And he didn’t refute the biggest falsehood that the AR is NOT an automatic rifle.

[cornfedcowboy]

I though it stood for aero rifle.

[kawhill]

Amen Arother.

[Who is John Galt?]

It stands for Armalite Rifle - look it up.

Here's an ArmaLite AR-9...

...and it's a shotgun, not an "automatic rifle" or an "ArmaLite rifle".

And then there's the ArmaLite AR-17...

...which is also a shotgun, and also not an "automatic rifle" or an "ArmaLite rifle".

But this is one of my favorites - the ArmaLite AR-24...

..so what do you think - does AR really stand "for Armalite Rifle"?

;>)

I am a double threat, with my 9mm AR-15!

[Eleutheria5]

Oh, nose! They make automatic rifles so compact, they can fit into your pocket!/s

[Eleutheria5]

Worse than Howard Stern? That’s bad.

The AR is available in 9mm?

Cool. I have a Ruger PC-9. 9mm carbine. Good weapon for coyote hunting.

no silly he knows darn well what it means he dont care

[jurroppi1]

In the context of the article and Whorealdo’s comments the AR in AR-15 most definitely stands for ArmaLite Rifle.

That you can find nits to pick is your prerogative, though it is also anally retentive and pedantic.

[Who is John Galt?]

And it's your prerogative to remain ignorant, create your own definitions, and ignore historical fact. But the old saying still holds true: "You can't fix stupid!"

He can ‘say’ anything he wants.

Still don’t make it true.

[Elsie]

They are all ready educated.

Anything they hear differently is gonna be labeled dis-information or AR denial.

[Elsie]

But you can shoot more times without reloading with an AR15 compared to a 9MM.
