David Schechter, a journalist for Dallas, Texas-based ABC affiliate WFAA-TV takes a look at the reasons to own an AR-15 as part of his Verify program, a news segment that takes viewers questions.
The question posed came from Allison, a self-described conservative who says she supports the right to keep and bear arms but has some qualms about why, specifically, an AR-15 should be available.
To answer that, they head to Jerah Hutchins, a certified firearms instructor who walks them through shooting an AR at an area range– which Allison seems to really enjoy, but she is still on the fence. |

You really ought not own just one. You guys know they're available in numerous calibers, right?
GO .308!
Seriously, 5.56 is nice to. And .300 blackout. And....well, heck, choose YOUR caliber! |

Allison, there can BE no reservations.
The Second Amendment was ratified to guarantee that the people can keep and bear MILITIA weapons.
If an AR-15 isn't a militia weapon, what IS? |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
