“Did you know “assault rifle” is a term created by anti-hunting groups, and AR does not stand for that?” I interrupted. “Nor does it stand for 'automatic rifle'. AR stands for ArmaLite, the company who created this style of gun. When ArmaLite sold to Colt in the late 1950s, the tag AR remained. AR-15, AR-50….they all stand for a make (AR-ArmaLite) and model (the number).”
