People reading the article are going to retain the main premise of the article which is that AR does not mean Assault Rifle and explain the difference between Automatic and Semi-auto. Sometimes the Gun Community can be as annoying as the anti gun crowd. So many experts. Thank goodness they did not write the article, they would have put everyone to sleep and not one would have even read the article.

Thank you for this. I would not have gleaned from the comments that preceded this one what the point of the article was. I probably will go back and read it now.
