AR-15-style rifles are NOT "assault weapons" or "assault rifles." An assault rifle is fully automatic -- a machine gun. Automatic firearms have been severely restricted from civilian ownership since 1934.
If someone calls an AR-15-style rifle an "assault weapon," he or she either supports banning these firearms or does not understand their function and sporting use, or both. Please correct them. "Assault weapon" is a political term created by California anti-gun legislators to ban some semi-automatic rifles there in the 1980s.

Marketing name (Armalite) plus it's been configured for semi-automatic.
Assault Rifles are fully automatic.
You were in the military ... I would think you would know that.
.30.06 (typical deer rifle) is a bigger round with twice the impact force.

Why would a civilian need to fire more than one bullet at a time?

My last M 16 was not full auto. Select fire with 3 round burst as was my M 4 that replaced it.

Yes and during hurricane Andrew many years ago the first few days after in Homestead friends of mine went down to help and were told by police that if you go into some of the neighborhoods you are on your own,we aren't going in it's too dangerous. So I guess if you lived there you'd call 911 as they are looting and stealing whatever water and supplies you may have stocked up on? Suppose something of that nature happened in your area?

I was in the Air Force. We used M-16's w/.22 caliber bullets. The selector button had semi and auto. We were told to use semi.
Ironically I was a very good shot, earning the Marksman Ribbon.
