It is like a Swiss Army knife as it is capable of doing many different tasks for different people. It can be adapted to fit short or tall people. It can be used for competitive target shooting, hunting and self defense. It can be charged to fire a number of different rounds some far more powerful than others. One rifle for everything that can fit almost everybody.
And many gun owners can accomplish all this without taking thsir AR-15 to a gunsmith.

The judge didn't overturn the ban because an AR15 is like a swiss army knife. It was a throwaway comment that the anti gun activists latched on to because they have nothing else.

What the fuck is a "semi assault weapon?"

Notice how they try to make a distinction between a semi-automatic rifle and an "assault weapon"?Where?
"Handguns are the most common weapon type used in mass shootings in the United States, with a total of 145 different handguns being used in 97 incidents between 1982 and May 2021. These figures are calculated from a total of 124 reported cases over this period, meaning handguns are involved in about 78 percent of mass shootings."

The Swiss Army Knife is a tool that can do many different jobs and serve many rolls.
Just like the AR15 platform.
AR pistol:
Probably one of the best home defense weapons available. It is quite small, compared to the full length rifle (20-inch barrel) or the "civilian carbine" (16-inch barrel)(the real carbine is 14.5"). The AR pistol can be chambered to shoot pistol cartridges, and the design allows for 4 points of body contact, as opposed to a 2-point contact of a handgun, and the length makes it easy to maneuver in close quarters. Great for home defense, but not much more.
Standard AR rifle:
The exact same platform as the AR pistol, the standard rifle is a jack of all trades. It can be used as a home defense weapon, a standard target rifle, a hunting rifle, a long-range target rifle, and a crutch if you sprain your ankle.
Long-Range AR rifle:
This rifle uses the exact same platform as the standard AR rifle and the AR pistol, but this setup is designed exclusively for long-range target shooting or hunting.
These are just 3 examples of how the platform can be used.
The AR platform is the one weapon platform that employs the concept of interchangeable parts to greatest level, simply by the design of the receiver:
It can accept many different types of barrels, stocks triggers, optics, etc.
One would almost need no other platform to accomplish any roll.
So, yes. The "Swiss Army Knife" utility comparison is spot on.

A gun can only kill one person at a time.

Incorrect ... If any number of people line up in a trajectory, and with a high enough caliber weapon, you can score multiple kills with one shot.
The round will deform depending on composition, velocity, as well as target hardness, and the trajectory may alter some ...
But it is deadly until the force is depleted.

The problem is that you and I see all of that as different tasks and different uses. Leftists see them all as the same task and use: making loud noises, being scary, and making leftists piss their frillies and cry to their birthing people.

That's that scientist that the feminazis fucked over.
I've always liked how you can pull your AR-15 out of your pocket and unfold the bayonet, scissors, corkscrew and screwdriver from it.

I agree. The weapon is well suited to home defense and urban or suburban combat.
The AR-15 has a pistol grip, and a medium length barrel, sometimes called a "carbine" rather than a "long gun."
The .233" Remington, a.k.a. 5.56mm NATO ammunition is lightweight and convenient, but limited in range to about 100 yards for accurate shooting, but certainly capable of inflicting general carnage and chance hits on target out to 200–300 yards.
You need a real "long gun" with a heavier caliber for greater range.
The majority of killings in the United States is actually done with knives, even more than with handguns. You might want to do your research. As for the "one at a time,".......let's use China as an example.....a man went on a knife, killing spree and in the end the total was (drum roll here): 33 dead and 130 injured. In a Japan killing spree, one man left 19 dead and 26 injured.
Of ALL violent crimes, rifles are used the least. They aren't easily concealed, thus making them less of a choice for criminals. Then there is the pesky issue of the fact there are 300-400 MILLION firearms legally purchased and owned by the approximately 100,000,000 entirely honest, LAW-ABIDING citizens who DO NOT commit ANY crimes with their firearms, whether they are small handguns, AK-47's, AR-15's, or any other semi-automatic rifle that carries magazines.
Last, the Second Amendment had nothing to do with hunting or sporting. It made clear, including in the federalist papers and the Supreme Court, that the purpose for which the civilian population can own firearms, is so that should a foreign government invade or our own government become authoritarian/tyrannical, the populace can form militias and defend their states against the enemy (again....foreign or "domestic"). The Supreme Court has upheld the right of the people to possess firearms, per the Constitution.
Play AR-15 is no more powerful than any other semi-auto rifle.
The gun itself is simply a semi-auto rifle with a tactical look. Being a tactical looking rifle does not make it.
The issue isn't the gun itself but all the attachments and modifications made for it.
A recently banned modification for example bumpstocks allowed a semi-auto rifle to shoot at a full auto rate. this was technically legal for a number of years even though it was blatantly a workaround for the full auto weapon ban.
Instead of trying to get a gun ban simply because it looks scary wow not working any differently than any other weapon that you're not trying to ban, start focusing on Banning attachment in modifications that have no place in the hands of civilians.

Or...... (and this is a crazy idea, I know), stop violating the US Constitution by trying to enact laws that the government was expressly forbidden the authority to enact.
Stop trying to tell free men what arms we may possess...... because the only reason anyone cares what weapons someone else has, is because they wish to do something to those people that they expect they would get shot for.
You ain't fooling anyone, and we're getting damned tired of you little punks pestering us about this.
Now fuck off.
