Control The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution is very often misunderstood. It directly 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.” This amendment has brought about two theories: the “individual right theory” and the “collective rights theory.” The first says that individuals have a right to own a gun, while the second theory states that only the local, state and federal
2nd Amendment of the US Constitution Probably the most debated amendment, the Second Amendment, was originally created so the people of the US could protect themselves but people argue that now it is doing more harm than good.

James Madison proposed the Second Amendment after the Constitution was ratified as a way to provide power to state militias, today known as the National Guard. The Second Amendment has two different interpretations. One interpretation suggests that it is made for common rights, while others say it is for personal rights.

After watching this documentary on the actions that took place in 2002, it immediately brought me back to the pain and guilt America felt as a whole.

What person in the right mind could ever do such a thing, and why? To start off, the Moore attempts to put an emphasis on the significance of gun violence on the younger generation of Americans
The Second Amendment provides: “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” (US Const. amend II). The right of the people to keep and bear Arms should not be contravened, if militia is well regulated. However, how can someone tell what is a well regulated Militia?

The Power of a Gun In the United States of America, the First Amendment right is one of the most important, allowing us to our freedom of speech. The Second Amendment is the second most important, allowing the citizens to have the right to bare arms to defend themselves, their family, and their country against any threat. This amendment gives us the right to have power for ourselves for protection, hunting, and sport. Due to the recent gun violence in America, some people view guns as a horrid object
Gun control has been a huge debate in the last years, Numerous shootings at schools, or even to somebody else. “The Second Amendment guarantees every responsible law-abiding adult the right to own guns for defense for self, home and family”.

Concealed Weapons The gun laws and restrictions have become a very controversial topic in the world today. The people of the United States are nearly spilt on whether or not there should be stricter gun laws, but more people lean towards the stricter side of the line.
