Ok, then shouldn’t the acronym be MSR instead of the brand specific AR?

In the gun world we do call them MSR’s. Some of the problem is that news media and entertainment media do not want to hear anything from us, and basically put forth a very warped view of everything involving guns. After becoming an ammosexual, I started noticing crazy shit in both the news and movies. Almost nobody follows gun safety rules in the movies, police routinely break gun safety rules, nomenclature is misused, mechanics are practically invented. It’s no wonder we have so many accidents, and ineffective laws, if that’s where you get your gun knowledge from.
