“Gun ownership serves basically five purposes, not just three,” documentary producer Jaeger told Oath keepers. “The three everyone talks about are: target practice, hunting, and self-defense, but the other two almost never mentioned are: deterrent against tyranny and participation in the ‘Militia of the several States.’ Why are [these] almost never mentioned even though the Founders mention the Militia in four separate places in the U.S. Constitution?
