Feds admit in court that AR-15's are not weapons of war

As a part of the settlement in the Cody Wilson/Defense Distributed case in federal court, the federal govt admitted that commonly available AR-15's etc up to .50 cal are not weapons of war. The case, by the way, was fought and won on first amendment grounds but involves the 2A, showing again the close relationship between these 2 rights.

[INDENT]In offering a definition of “military equipment” the settlement says:

[INDENT] The phrase “Military Equipment” means (1) Drums and other magazines for firearms to 50 caliber (12.7 mm) inclusive with a capacity greater than 50 rounds, regardless of the jurisdiction of the firearm, and specially designed parts and components therefor; (2) Parts and components specifically designed for conversion of a semi-automatic firearm to a fully automatic firearm; (3) Accessories or attachments specifically designed to automatically stabilize aim (other than gun rests) or for automatic targeting, and specifically designed parts and components therefor.
[/INDENT]

Attorneys in the case expounded on the amended regulations by pointing out that the settlement “expressly acknowledges that non-automatic firearms up to .50 caliber widely available in retail outlets in the United States and abroad [a scope that includes AR-15 and other assault-style rifles], are not inherently military.”[/INDENT]
