Inbox: "Does the Swiss army knife comparison to the AR make sense? Is that a good analogy?"
A good analogy isn't confusing and should allow people without specific knowledge to understand, so no. But, it makes sense to people who already know what the judge meant.

This section of the rifle is what makes an AR an AR. Variations in barrel length, stock, optics, grip, caliber, etc allow it to be used in various roles (Swiss army knife) 
Depending on the combinations the rifle can be used for home defense, hunting, varmint control, poking holes in paper to look cool (what most get used for).
The judge's comparison was basically an attempt to say "it's a basic semi auto rifle that can be used in a lot of roles and in those roles it is comparable to weapons designed for that role", which is a true enough statement.
