It is interesting towards the tail end of the video when the young lady comments why she prefers the AR...
Personally I'd want a levergun in my list, although I guess the "22 LR" he lists could be a levergun (like maybe am integrally-suppressed Ruger 96/22 ).
I do find that a 357 levergun could be the ultimate all-around long gun though, for many purposes short of a group of aggressive two-legged predators, in which case I'd certainly prefer an AR or AK (or flamethrower or grenades )
Doctors for Sensible Gun Laws "first do no harm" - gun control LAWS lead to far more deaths than 'easy access' ever could.
We run a series of NRA classes at our range including ones for new shooters. I've found that most women and teens, when given a chance to fire a few rds from a center fire rifle after completing the .22lr class, opt for a more traditional piece than the ARs. I've brought out an AR Carbine, M1 Carbine, Mini 14, and .357 mag M-92 and the least picked to try is the AR by a large margin.
I believe it's a combination of the huge receiver and bulky look of the AR compared to the more compact other choices. When they ask what they are and I explain each of them, many women want to try the M1 Carbine or Mini. Some of the kids want the levergun but are a bit intimidated by it's operation vs just pulling the trigger on the other 2.
