Both Heller and Bruen specifically go over and mention the AR-15.

I’ve seen a lot of dumb arguments from anti-gunners over the years, many of them repeated ad nauseam, so I’ll give Naperville, Illinois and its attorneys a small amount of credit for their originality in defending the city’s ban on so-called assault weapons in its latest filing with the Seventh Circuit. But from a legal perspective, the city’s claim that the right to keep and bear arms extends only to handguns is downright silly, not to mention contradicted by several Supreme Court opinions.
Naperville: "In short, nothing in Heller or Bruen suggests that the Second Amendment protects any rights unrelated to possession of handguns for self-defense inside or outside the home."
