Wtf, no she doesn’t?! I don’t need to know the details of how guns are named to see the effects they have. It’s like saying you can only criticize someone running over people with a car if you can name the manufacturer’s home country, completely absurd.
No, it’s like pushing for horse-drawn carriage control because people in cars are speeding, or like saying there’s a butter-knife loophole around sword bans.
It’s fucking important to know about the things you’re trying to legislate, and knowing that an AR-15 isn’t an assault rifle is such a basic bit of information.
The AR in AR-15 may stand for Armalite, but an AR-15 is still an assault rifle.
The U.S. Army defines assault rifles as "short, compact, selective-fire weapons that fire a cartridge intermediate in power between submachine gun and rifle cartridges.
And
…examples of intermediate cartridges are the 7.92×33mm Kurz, the 7.62×39mm and 5.56×45mm NATO.

It would be like banning hysterectomy as treatment for anyone who isn’t certifiably hysterical.
The AR in AR-15 may stand for Armalite, but an AR-15 is still an assault rifle.
And
AR-15 is not selective fire. That means fully automatic, something that is already effectively banned in the USA.
