Hi @SyconsciousAu
There's more on the AR15 topic here .. .223 and 5.56mm Nato specs .. so not just semi-auto vs auto will be the topic ..
Those of us, who I affectionately like to call gun nerds, who can cite the SAAMI specs for each round might enjoy such a technical debate, but it isn't going to sway the chattering masses. It's just not a hill that I think anyone who loves their shooting, and loves their firearms should be seeking to die on. I know there are quite a few professional users of firearms on here, and would hope that we could all acknowledge that any difference in effectiveness between the two rounds would be lost on the poor bastard we just shot with it in most situations.
If I was in your situation, I would start running from the "it's my 2A right" position and move towards self regulation. Your rights in the United States appear only as guaranteed as your politically loaded Supreme Court says they are. It's a hypothetical, but imagine if some extreme left wing group committed a terrorist attack that took out the full bench, or even a series of terrorist attacks that took out all of the conservative justices, leaving the current administration free to pick the wokest judges in the United States? Don't make the mistake of taking it for granted that your "right" to bear arms is absolute. Start planning for the day where you will need a good argument to retain that right, because, if you don't believe that there could be a perfect storm where woke liberals will hold sufficient power to amend 2A, then you are fighting with your eyes closed.
