- WHAT EXACTLY ARE AR 15s.
MARISA WOJCIK WENT TO A GUN SHOP
TO SEE THEM UP-CLOSE.
- WHEN NIKOLAS CRUZ OPENED FIRE
LAST MONTH, IT REIGNITED A
DEBATE ABOUT GUN RESTRICTIONS.
THE DIFFERENCE THIS TIME, IT'S
NOT GOING AWAY.
CRUZ MURDERED 17 PEOPLE THAT DAY
USING ANAR 15 SEMIAUTOMATIC
RIFLE.
- THIS IS THE FIREARM.
- MANAGER OF THE DEERFIELD
PISTOL AND ARCHERY CENTER
EXPLAINS THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN
ANAR 15 AND A SEMIAUTOMATIC
HUNTING RIFLE.
- THIS GUN AND A SEMIAUTOMATIC
HUNTING GUN ARE THE SAME THING.
IT'S STRICTLY ASSET STICKS, IS
A AESTHETICS IN THE
DIFFERENCE.
- THEAR 15 WAS DESIGNED AFTER
MILL GATHER
MILITARY GRADE GUNS FOR COM PAT.
WHAT DO ORDINARY CITIZENS USE IT
FOR?
- MARKSMANSHIP AND
MILITARY ALWAYS HAS THE COOLEST
TOYS.
THIS IS AS CLOSE AS WE CAN GET
TO THEM.
- THAT SELLING POINT IS A HUGE
SALES DRIVER FOR GUN ENTHUSE A
FTS.
BUT THERE'S ANOTHER ACT ACTOR.
- WE HAD A LULL WHEN TRUMP TOOK
OFFICE.
THERE WASN'T THE DEMAND OR THE
PRESSURE ON THE GUN ISSUE AT
THAT TIME.
- FOR WHITING, UPHOLDING THE
SECOND AMENDMENT IS ESSENTIAL,
BUT NOT THE END OF THE
CONVERSATION.
- YOU KNOW, I AGREE THAT
EVERYBODY SHOULD HAVE THEIR
SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS.
ON THE OTHER HAND, OBVIOUSLY
THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT
PROBABLY SHOULDN'T HAVE ACCESS
TO FIREARMS OR WE NEED TO DO A
BETTER JOB OF MAKING SURE THAT
WE'RE INTERVENING BEFORE AN
INCIDENT OCCURS.
- THAT WAS MARISA WOJCIK
REPORTING.
