In my mind, a semi-auto AR-15 is just as dangerous to public safety as the M16, since only the rate of fire is different. Lo, some people would claim the AR-15 is MORE dangerous since there are claims that auto weapons with the "3 round burst" are harder to control/aim.
If banning an M16 is not an infringement on rights, why not ban the AR-15 as well?

If I could re: the bold.
The single shot variant of the weapon is more dangerous because it is easier to control and target. I have shot the C-7/C-8 many times. It has either single shot or full auto as options to deliver metal to a target. There is not one situation I can think of where the full auto option is better than the single shot.
