    The Second Amendment states “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 was instituted to the Constitution on December 15, 1791 and means that any person in our country has the right to own and bear arms at any point and that the right may not be taken from you.

The framers of this amendment decided it was important to be able to bear arms because of the success they found of having guns in the previous war [the English men also just enjoyed the use of arms]. Although this is still an amendment today it still has gone through a lot of debate.…
