The second amendment was passed by congress on september 25,1789. This amendment gave the right of the people to keep and bear Arms. The Second Amendment guarantees American citizens the right to self-protection and safety. Society is safer when citizens carry guns because it gives citizens the ability to protect themselves from threats like criminals, such as violent intruders and attackers, as well as violent shooters.
One supporting reason is protection. In the past 5 years statistics have shown that homes with guns are 63% safer than homes without guns. Most people ignore that some families who can't afford to live in safe neighborhoods and live in the dangerous ones they need someway to protect themselves. Also studies have shown that if a criminal attacks someone and the victim pulls out a gun to protect him/herself then more than 50% of the time the criminal backs away. That would mean that half of the victims could possibly be saved. It is very stereotypical to think that a man with a gun will harm someone.

This Amendment exasperates a lot of people but the definition of gun control is; government regulation of possession and use of firearms by private citizens.These laws do nothing to stop criminals from buying illegal guns, who are unlikely to obey the law and register their guns. Gun rights groups say the legislation is infringing mostly on the constitutional rights of law-abiding citizens that are just trying to protect themselves. Our Founding Fathers gave the citizens of the United States the right to bear arms, and our current government is slowly trying to take it away. Now a days the second amendment has emerged more into people's minds than ever
On December 15, 1791, the Bill of Rights was ratified effective by Congress. These first ten amendments to the Constitution of the United States of America promised the states certain rights and freedoms which could not be infringed by the government. After all, the founding fathers knew from experience that men in their weakness were often tempted by power. They had become all too familiar with this when under the control of King George in England. Therefore, in order to protect the future people of their beautiful country, they promised certain liberties which could not be taken away. Every single one of these freedoms is important for the United States of America. However, the second amendment is especially important
Constitution of United States of America written 1789. Second amendment is regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state. The right of people to keep and have bear arms shall not be infringed. The issues the federal Judge have with 2nd amendment is that it doesn't cover weapons are either military in nature or resemble military weapons. If people can't have guns and weapons to defend themselves or just to have guns to feel protceted. The judges say the military weapons or okay than the people should have military weapons since the military weapons are different from bear arms. The enlightened judge doesn't like the language of the constitution because they think it's outdated and doesn't go right with our modern life today.
The 2nd Amendment, which is often times the most controversial amendment is the "right to bear arms," but what exactly does that mean? That is one of the controversies surrounding the amendment, what does it mean that people have the right to bear arms? Who has the right to bear arms? Just the Militia? Does the public have the right to own and operate a weapon? In this blog, I will cover three topics; 1) How Does the 2nd Amendment Tie Into Human Rights? 2) Why Is the 2nd Amendment So Controversial? and 3) Why Do People Think It's So Important?
The second amendment of the United States reads, “a well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed” (Constitution). This has started a huge debate on whether or not this should be true. On one hand people believe that “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms" make an individual right in constitution. Under this theory the United States Constitution restricts legislative bodies from prohibiting firearm possession, or at the very least, the Amendment renders prohibitory and restrictive regulation presumptively unconstitutional. Gun control is considered unconstitutional by many American citizens, as it should be. Gun control is laws or
Most Americans of today should cling to the second amendment for their protection because that will allow citizens to hold their firearms wherever they go for their own safety. People also believe that by adhering to the second amendment, would keep them informed about the upcoming attacks so citizens would not be in fear. Many people have been harmed by legal firearms for a long time now and I truly believe that there should be gun laws in every state for them to be banned
The first Laws of the land. The foundation on which our country would stand for years to come. Drafted in 1791 by James Madison the Bill of rights which holds the 2ns Amendment was formed during the very first presidency of The Unites States, George Washington. The United States was forming the foundation of our country. In a time where the country wanted to form its Laws but also allow the citizens to feel secure they would not oppress them.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident” says the often-quoted Declaration of Independence. Of course, that depends on whom you mean when you say “We”. Self-evident truths are only obvious to those that have already discovered those truths. It seems to be part of the human condition to assume that if I know something, then others must already know it, too. Clearly, this is not always the case.

The Second Constitution reads “A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the societies of a free state, the right of people to keep and to bear arms shall not be infringed.” Specifically, I am reviewing the portion of the amendment that speaks to the right to bear arms.

The Second Amendment to the Constitution gave United States citizens the right to bear arms. Although, the Second Amendment stated: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms. However, the framers could not foresee the type of violence we have in our cities today. Innocent citizens have and are being brutally killed due to this amendment. Stricter gun control laws must be enacted to receive these types of weapons.
The second amendment was likely created because while Britain had ruled America, there was a standing army in the colonies. The Americans no longer trusted standing armies. Instead, they had they had state militias that made up of volunteers. This is important because it helps insure that tyranny will not occur by spreading out the privilege of governing military forces to officials that are elected by the people. The second right protected in the second amendment is the right to bear arms. There is has been much debate over the meaning of this part of the amendment.
