In reply to the discussion: I'm told that the AR-15 is a 'Modern Sporting Rifle' [View all]AndyS
(14,559 posts)21. In case you missed it, the question is "What sport is it designed for?"
None of those other guns had a special name made up just for them. They aren't called 'Modern Sporting Pistols' or 'Modern Sporting shotguns'. Only the AR-15. The NSSF said they invented the term just for that wanna be military weapon.
So I ask you specifically, what sport is it designed for and what sport is the guy in the OP's ad practicing for?

The sport ...is to kill people. Mass killing made modern. Manufacturers have no shame.
