The "weapons of war" trope is a meaningless talking point used by Dems for propaganda purposes.  A musket is a "weapon of war", as it was used in numerous wars.  Are you talking about weapons used in war right now?  Then an AR15 would not qualify.  But a M24, a bolt action rifle, would.  How many mass shootings are carried out with a bolt action rifle?  The word is meaningless, is used by people who cannot define it (as illustrated in this very thread) and is only used for inflammatory purposes.

On the other side of the coin I've seen conservative memes showing the invasion of Ukraine and saying "This is why citizens needs assault rifles" so there is no denying the usefulness of such a potent firearm when you need to survive a war-like situation.  Frankly, people thinking an AR15 is completely unnecessary overkillingly powerful is a bonus to people who buy them so folks leave 'em be, I guess.
