Constitutional Connection: Amendment 2: Right to Bear Arms,
"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."



Explanation of Connection:

The 2nd Amendment is probably one of the more speculated amendments of the 27 amendments. This amendments gives the idea that the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be removed. The amendment implies that a well regulated Militia (Military group) is a necessity to a free State. Therefore what decisions will be made to ensure that this amendment is kept, and that the Constitution is still being instituted.


This article clearly demonstrates the 2nd Amendment of the United States Constitution. We as US citizens have rights, among those rights, are the fact that we are entitled to freely bear arms for our personal use be it, protection or hunting. This article demonstrates how the Supreme Court has come to a decision recently that the rights for citizens in Chicago should be ratified. There was a handgun ban trying to be instituted in Chicago, but once the Supreme Court heard they used their Judiciary power to over rule their intentions.


I could only imagine what it would be like if this principle was really instituted nationwide. I personally feel that it would be both beneficial and a bit risky to try and institute the 2nd Amendment to law because, if it was instituted people both calm and conserative as well as wild and rowdy people. If they opened it to all people this amendment would allow people to have their own protection on them for their homes and as well give the supplies for thieves and thugs to use the same means of protection as a means of terror. Im have very contradictory thoughts toward this amendment?
