The anti crowd brings up that argument. By that logic, we should all be limited to black powder, muzzle loading muskets.

If your interested. I suggest watching this.
- Cato Institute.

If your into reading about law, you might consider this:
District of Columbia v. Heller
In particular, I would call your attention to the phrase "in common use at the time" within that link. An AR-15 is the most popular rifle in America today. Because of that, I think it would fall under "common use" under the Heller decision.
