Second Amendment Rights:
Anti-Gun Control and Pro-Gun Control Activists The Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution states that 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. The exact wording of the amendment has been changed twice before the U.S. Senate finally approved it in its present form.
As with many of the amendments, the precise wording proved critical to its interpretation. This has been a topic of controversy dating back as far as the 1800’s, but has especially been a topic of discussion and analysis in the last half of the 20th century. The Supreme Court made the final determination of the Constitution 's meaning, and it has defined the amendment as simply granting to the states the right to maintain a militia separate from federally controlled militias.
Some theorists have argued that the Second Amendment grants the right of insurrection. According to them, the Second Amendment was designed to allow citizens to rebel against the government. Thomas Jefferson is quoted as saying that "a little rebellion every now and then is a good thing." This paper will provide the public with information concerning the views of anti-gun control activists and pro-gun control activists. In order to accomplish this task, this paper will answer the following questions:
Why do people believe we shouldn’t have gun control laws?
Why do people believe we should have gun control laws?
