> In fact, the Colt AR-15 page made no mention of gun control at all, instead spending over a thousand words describing the technical details of the gun’s various parts.

As it should be. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. The whole point is to provide information about the particular thing at hand.

For curiosity sake, I looked at Brittanica: https://www.britannica.com/technology/M16-rifle

No reference to gun control, just a decent description of the rifle and its variants.
