Original Note:
The AR-15 is not an assault rifle. Some jurisdictions define it as a so-called :assault weapon'. https://www.kxan.com/news/political-news/what-is-an-assault-rifle-language-to-know-as-leaders-discuss-gun-legislation/ The 'assault weapon' categorization is contentious, as the definition varies by jurisdiction and can sweep in weapons some consider inappropriate for the designation https://www.theregreview.org/2018/11/14/kopel-defining-assault-weapons/
