AR-15 is not a weapon of war and has never been deployed by the US Military for service. Automatic select fire rifles such as the M4 Carbine and M16 that resemble the AR-15 aren’t manufactured for civilian purchase. To own an M4 one requires a Class 3 License. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Colt_AR-15_and_M16_rifle_variants
