Why are the AR-15 style rifles the most popular weapon being sold in the
USA today?

.....

Because they “play the part”. Light and accurate.

Though I consider my Steyr AUG a superior weapon, nobody wants one of those Star Wars looking things. But the ease of disassembly and barrel interchange is attractive if you wanna be “tactical”. I like it...

But the AR is “Made in USA “ and the platform for a host of different cartridges. And they look way cool compared to an AK-47/74

Anyhow, back to the Steyr...

I have an IWI Tavor that, to me, looks nicer and is more ergonomic:

Of course he does. It's part of a great collection of firearms. You guys aren't allowed to do that,
remember? It's part of the way the 'anadian government restrains its citizens.

Could be and I won’t dispute that. But there’s several bullpups that closely resemble each other. Mine is deffinately different. That’s why I got it. Though they’re a bit longer, I always wanted an enfield SA80 or L85 but they’re almost impossible to get especially for civilian use.
