Is an AR15 rifle legal in the US?

Yes, and you can own one in any state, although some states have certain restrictions. For example, New York, New Jersey, Massachusettes, Connecticut, and Cook County, Illinois have the 1994 Clinton ban written into their legislature, so AR rifles sold there may only have none or one of the features listed in the ban (flash suppressor, pronounced pistol grip, telescoping buttstock, etc.). In California, rifles not registered prior to the 2000 registration of so-called "assault rifles" must either be featureless (in addition to the features listed in the Clinton ban, California also includes forward grips in theirs), or else must have the "bullet button" installed, which makes it technically a fixed magazine rifle. Additionally, the lower receiver must not be from a manufacturer listed by the California DOJ.
