roundly hated widely loved the ar-15 rifle can shoot a lot of bullets in a little time my name is David Schecter I'm a veteran reporter and now I work for you I'm taking real people out on the road to get their questions answered and you're coming along for the ride this is verify Road Trip this is not a story about whether to ban the ar-15 but in the wake of mass shootings like Las Vegas and parkland it always comes up you don't need 30 rounds to protect yourself I just don't think we should be selling ar-15s in this country weapons to be legal so we want to verify are there legitimate reasons to own an ar-15 [Music] thank you allison is a verified viewer and she is politically conservative I feel like people should have the right to own guns but it's a mom with four little kids the ar-15 really scares her we have all of these other avenues for hunting and for sport so why does it have to be the ar-15 ellison's never fired a gun before and me just once a long time ago so jera Hodgins is teaching us both how to do it she's an nra certified gun instructor all right I'm right here pulling the trigger really felt like it was a big decision and it was kind of it was intense for me you're gonna do the same thing I'm gonna give you three fire when ready finger back to trigger discipline there aren't any hard numbers but most people estimate that millions of Americans own some kind of ar-15 type rifle what do people use the ar-15 for what is its purpose self-defense hunting competition is there a reason that we have to have an ar-15 you know I would tell you that the sport of hunting demands it but more than that the the reason that you should be able to have one is simply because you can at the range - he's a life long and are a member who hunts 100 days a year and had his first gun when he was four what's lost if you don't have it access to they are 15 what do you lose I lose the most effective tool for protecting the lives of myself and my family so I have four kids I have um sorry but it also is really difficult for my kids to have lockdown drills in school if we could take away this option and it would make my kids safer why can we not do that of course in the back of your mind you wonder is someone gonna walk onto campus one day and do something bad but my solution to that is is not that I am so scared by the thought of that that I want to punish law-abiding people in a way that is not really going to have an impact on a crazy person's ability to do crazy things did you ever think you to turn ar-15 no I never thought that did you ever think you'd go on a feral hog hunt no well welcome to verify now we're traveling to Oklahoma to see Rancher Kristen Cogan she's telling us feral hogs eat crops transmitted diseases to livestock and tear up hay meadows like this one nationwide that's a 1.5 billion dollar problem why the ar-15 wide is this the only option for hog hunting I wouldn't say it's the only option I would say it's the most effective option right how much of a handicap would it be to not have access to that weapon it would be it would be a big handicap you will not find a better gun for hog hunting than they are 15 it's night time when the Hogs come out and we're going on a hunt if you see a hog coming y'all can jump behind me chef Bailey is our guy he prefers the ar-15 over a bolt-action rifle you don't want to be worried about jacking a boat every time when you're trying to kill large amount of hogs and so ultimately all you have to do is pull the trigger over and over and over it's like that go each of us got off 12 shots in about five seconds it was intense I felt like I pulled it was but in reality it was a dozen times they got at least one at least one that's probably a thousand dollars worth of damage a thousand dollars at that hog would have done damage yeah that was a good shooting I'm highly impressed for two people that had never two people that had never fired we open that thing out baby they did they shot away so are there legitimate reasons to own an ar-15 so what's your answer the question are there yes there are legitimate reasons for this hog hunting purpose I could totally see how it's an effective and efficient way to manage the population but Allison seems just as scared about the gun as she was at the start it happened so fast like there's no time to react you know how could anyone defend themselves against that you know you're just done look Allison doesn't like this gun but we did verify there are legitimate uses for the ar-15 don't take my word for it take hers
