If we did not have our guns right now they would have taken our power\u00a0 and we would be powerless.

The freedoms we enjoy have been well-protected.\u201d She noted how Texas just adopted constitutional carry on September 1 of this year, something that Arizona adopted in 2010.<\/p>\n<p>Then she said, \u201cWe need to preserve those Second Amendment freedoms. And as governor I will never, ever sign a piece of legislation that takes away one scintilla of our Second Amendment rights. As a matter of fact, we need to look at some of the laws we have on the books that might actually be infringing those rights.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lake pointed out Arizona is a Second Amendment sanctuary state, and noted, \u201cIf Joe Biden gets bossy with us he needs to know up front that he and his people will never take my guns away in Arizona, they will never take our daughter\u2019s guns, my husband\u2019s guns, or our ammo.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She concluded, \u201cIf you haven\u2019t woken up to the fact that our Second Amendment is holding this country together, then you need to take a close look at what this country was founded on and what our Founding Fathers saw coming; what they prepared us for with the Second Amendment.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AZ Gubernatorial Hopeful Kari Lake: \u2018We Do Not Have a Country Without the 2nd Amendment\u2019 Breitbart News sat down with Arizona gubernatorial hopeful Kari Lake this week and she stressed \u201cwe do not have a country without the Second Amendment.\u201d Lake talked to Breitbart News about the change she witnessed in the country during the &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/?p=72337\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-72337","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics","category-rkba"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72337","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=72337"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72337\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":72338,"href":"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72337\/revisions\/72338"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=72337"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=72337"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=72337"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
