    The Second Amendment for the US People. Do you think that we the people of America have the right to keep and bear arms? No other bill of right includes a civic purpose. Why people have the right to keep and bear arms in America. Because the people of America have the right to keep and bear arms. Having a gun can help keep the people of America and their family safe. If someone breaks into a person of Americas’ house trying to hurt them or their family. If a wild animal breaks into a person of America’s house having a gun would be the best option so you don’t have to get close to it.

    The right to keep and bear arms is a lot like the right to freedom of speech. In each case, the Constitution expressly protects a liberty that needs to be insulated from the ordinary political process. Neither right, however, is absolute. The First Amendment, for example, has never protected perjury, fraud, or countless other crimes that are committed through the use of speech. Similarly, no reasonable person could believe that violent criminals should have unrestricted access to guns, or that…

Many who support gun control do not think or realize these…
