Many Americans just enjoy taking it out to shoot at targets and improve their skill with the weapon that could be used to defend their homes.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, the militia language in the Second Amendment indicates to many scholars that the states that approved that amendment hoped their residents would keep a weapon to defend their new country should another country invade, or an uprising were to take place within their new state.<\/p>\n<p>Well, the musket was the arms for war when that amendment was written, and semiautomatic weapons, including the AR-15, are the arms for war today. For that reason, if citizens want to be prepared for invasions or internal strife, the AR-15-type weapon is the most appropriate to own today.<\/p>\n<p>I would wager that Ukrainians wish their country had a Second Amendment to allow citizens to own weapons to prepare to defend their nation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s sensible to own an AR-15 By Jim Beckham, Henderson\u00a0Friday, June 10, 2022 | 2 a.m. I get so upset when I hear President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and other members of the Biden team talk about people not needing an AR-15-type assault weapon because its sole purpose is to kill people, and &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/?p=82149\" 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":[30],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-82149","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-letters-to-the-editor"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82149","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=82149"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82149\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":82150,"href":"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82149\/revisions\/82150"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=82149"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=82149"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=82149"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
