Weapon of War is a term that 2nd amendment proponents should not acknowledge.
It is a false dilemma invented by gun grabbers to justify the registration/confiscation of all firearms.
With President Joe Biden in the White House and Democrat control of the House of Representatives and the United States Senate, owners of AR-15 and similar firearms have a valid reason for concern. Such guns have been targeted for legislation including registration, increased background checks, and even outright bans.
Many who want to see such firearms banned try to use terms that, while sound scary, don’t really apply to the AR-15.
