Actually your wrong JD, the AR has become americans favorite rifle and it can be chambered in rounds large enough for most north American species. But even in 556 it is very popular for varmint hunting as well as shooting competitions such as 3 gun. Sales of AR 15 style rifles have exceeded all other rifles in America.It is true that the AR platform now comes in a variety of rounds but when mentioned in the middle of a conversation it is assumed that we're talking about the 5.56 mm. It is prohibited in some states for hunting and in other states it is allowed for taking varmints only. The OP was a stupid comment that cannot be supported by the facts.
Here is a link from the NRA
