The Supreme Court says that the federal government as well as the states can outlaw weapons they seem fit…

of history, the United States has faced many complexities surrounding the topic of guns and gun control. While Amendment II of The United States Constitution 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” (Cornell University Law School, 2015a, para. 2) the phasing has been interpreted, and implemented, differently over tine.

The Second Amendment is one of the most controversial topics today in the United States. The reason it is so important is because it affects every person in the country.

I feel strongly that the Second Amendment is someone’s constitutional right, but should be thought of more as a privilege and should not be abused. With…
