The AR-15: America’s Most Controversial Rifle! #shorts #history #weapons

Few firearms are as famous—or as controversial—as the **AR-15**. Loved by some, feared by others, it’s often called "America’s Rifle." But what makes the AR-15 so iconic?

First developed in the **1950s** by Eugene Stoner, the **AR** in AR-15 stands for **"ArmaLite Rifle"**, not "assault rifle" as many think. Originally designed for the military, its lightweight build, modular design, and precision made it revolutionary. When **Colt** acquired the design, it became the basis for the military’s **M16** and later the **M4 Carbine**.

The AR-15's civilian version exploded in popularity for its customizability. Shooters can swap barrels, sights, and grips, tailoring it to hunting, sport shooting, or home defense. However, its use in mass shootings has made it a lightning rod for debate. Advocates praise its reliability, while critics call for stricter controls.

Love it or hate it, the AR-15 has reshaped America’s gun culture, becoming a symbol of both freedom and division. What’s your take?
