The left loves to fearmonger about the AR15, even though very few crimes are committed with it in comparison to other options, even among rifles. (The AR15 is an expensive weapon compared to a lot of other directly comparable weapons)
Many gun owners think this is because the left media are morons who single out the AR15 for demonization for being an 'evil black rifle' and looking scary.
I have another theory:
The AR15 is singled out for demonization because it is predominantly owned by whites.

I'd say it's singled out because it's a damn effective weapon. They don't want us having riot control capabilities.
There are an absolute litany of guns that would work just as well against unarmoured targets at point blank range.
Hell, even a machete would've worked for Kyle.
