They're all saying that because they KNOW that if it is an AR-15 that will prompt a ban.

An AR-15 fires a .223 caliber bullet, essentially a .22 - but the velocity is very different and so is the effective power when a high speed bullet hits human flesh. It tumbles and destroys organs and bones. A .22 can't come close to that.
