Select fire is a weapon that can do full auto and semi auto. In other words, colloquially a full auto rifle. No AR-15s for the civilian market today are select fire or burst fire. Buying a new select fire or full auto rifle has been extremely illegal at the federal level for literal decades, as would be turning your semiautomatic into a select fire (without heavy duty federal licensing at a minimum)
Maybe you should learn the difference?
I think what you mean to say is "I'm sorry, my first comment is hilariously structurally ambiguous".
"AR is not XXX. That means full auto." By which you meant "XXX means full auto". Unfortunately, written as two sentences that's not how it reads.
You might be better at guns than written English it turns out.
I think it was pretty clear.
The AR-15 is not selective fire. A gun that is selective fire can fire full auto or at least single trigger pull burst.
Lol I think you mean "sorry I misread." Imagine being that bad at context and blaming the writing. Sure I could've been more explicit but most people can handle a single ambiguous pronoun in a comment chain without writing a whole salty comment about how wrong one clearly contextually incorrect interpretation is. You're what's wrong with the liberal gun community.
