The Second Amendment f the United States Constitution says; ' A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, s hall not be infringed." On the one hand some believe the the Amendment's pharase "the right of the people to keep bear Arms" creates an individual constitution right for citizend of the United States. The Second Amendment has most recently been interpreted to grant the right of gun ownership to individuals for purposes that include self-defese. At first it was thought to apply only to the Federal governent, but throught the mechanism of the Fourteeenth Amendment. it has been applied to the states as well.
The Article I currently read about the 2nd Amendment was called Gun Ownership, and in this article it talks about the gun lovers regularly quote the second half og the Second Amendment, while ignoring the ruling first hald, as well as ignoring the historical background and the the court rulings on the amendent. The Second Amendment to the Constitution allows individuals to keep of the guns they want. The 2nd Amendment also in no way prohibits the states fro regulating the private ownership of arms, nor does it prohibit the fedearl government from reglating the interstate comerce in arms; it merly does what it says: protects the right of the states to maintain "well-regulated" militias.
The Second Aendment to the United States Constitution protected the right of the people to keep and bear amrs. The Supreme Court of the United Steated has ruled the the right belongs to private individuals, while also rulling the the right is no unlimited and does not prohibit all regulation of either firearms or similar devices. The Second Amendment was adopted on December 15, 1791, as part of the first ten amendments contained in the Bill of Rights.
