Amendment II
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.
Right to bear Arms
The government needs a military and this amendment protects it. It also allows the citizens of the country to bear arms.
I find that after reseaching the Bill of Rights I have changed my mind about the right to bear arms, I dislike guns, but I see a bit clearer now the intent of the right to bear arms.
"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms..disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed one." - Thomas Jefferson quoting Cesare Beccaria, Criminologist in 1764. That was 230 years ago. -Thomas Jefferson
