Importance of The Second Amendment

The Constitution should be interpreted literally and cannot change with society. Explain the topic and either agree or disagree with the statement, offering support to the argument. Saying that the constitution should be taken literally and that it cannot change with society is in my opinion unrealistic . When the constitution was written the world was a very different place than it is today so saying that it is to be taken literally and that it cannot change is very unrealistic. The problems…

from possessing handguns. In 2008, after the Court had decided Heller and said that the Second Amendment includes an individual right to keep and bear arms, Otis McDonald and other Chicago residents sued the city for violating the Constitution. They claimed that Chicago’s handgun regulations violate their 14th Amendment rights. Specifically, the residents argue that the 14th Amendment makes the Second Amendment right “to keep and bear Arms” applicable to state and local governments. The federal…

protect them, but there are so many alternatives to having a gun. People still choose the guns over the alternatives and many of the guns end up in the wrong hands and those people take advantage of the Second Amendment by using the firearm for the killing of innocent people. The Second Amendment was not established for people to shoot innocent people, it was made so people could defend their home and…

Gun Controls Laws The second amendment should not be a part of the constitution. Gun control laws are connected to the 2nd amendment which 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” ("Index Page - The U.S. Constitution Online." Index Page - The U.S. Constitution Online - USConstitution.net. N.p., n.d. Web. 24 Jan. 2017.) Which allows any citizen the right to own a gun for security…

#1 Radio Review: History of Domestic Violence Am giving a “B” to this program. I like it because it discusses a common big problem facing the Country “Gun Violence.” The program called awareness to the correlation between domestic violence and mass shooting and the important of keeping guns away from abusers. I agree with that, of course, it has always been illegal for domestic abusers to possess guns, but the point is that, they could still buy guns from private sellers, which makes it more…

The 2nd amendment is a very popular topic in today’s society and most have posted about the 2nd amendment. In my opinion and interpretation of the amendment it is pretty cut and dry. The founding fathers deemed it necessary to afford law abiding citizens the right to bear arms. As a citizen of this country it is my privilege, yes I said “privilege” not right to bear arms. I should be able to buy any weapon of my choosing whether it be for home defense, the defense of my family or for…

Gun control should not be legalized in the United States, because it is part of our constitution and it needs to be followed. According to Paul Gosar/Second Amendment and Gun Rights/1-11-16 he said “In the Federalist No. 46, James Madison explained that because American citizens were typically armed, the federal government would be unable to exert power beyond the powers enumerated in the Constitution”. pretty much James Madison explained that since guns were a way of life then it was meant to…

Control While the Obama Administration is attempting to put restrictions on and do away with some specific guns, criminals are finding them on the black market and purchasing them illegally. Putting restrictions on gun ownership violates the 2nd Amendment right, which is the right of the people to keep and bear arms, and the right to self defense. The key to keeping our nation safe is not having armed citizens, we need experienced and informed citizens. We need to put more focus on the values…

The Second Amendment states that the government cannot take away your firearms because you have the right to own them and the government cannot take that right away from you.

Most Americans believe that the Second Amendment protects their individual rights. There are many reasons that our Founding Fathers wrote…
