Very few homeowners have assault rifles. Marines do not train on the AR15 anymore than the Army does. Which is not at all.
AR15 = semi automatic rifle, which falls under the definition of assault weapon in most cases
M16 = assault rifle, capable of full-auto or burst, depending on variant
They are not the same any more than porn depicting 17year olds is the same as porn depicting 18year olds. Both are porn, both are teens, but yet they fall under very different legal definitions. Just as an AR15 and M16 fall under very different legal definitions.
