Guns Equal Protection and a Source of Food

Guns equal protection and a source of food, hunting, people are the ones using the guns to hurt and harm other people. On December 15, 1791, our Founding Father decided that it was important to make sure every citizen of the United States of America has the right to Bear Arms. The Second Amendment of the Constitution of the U.S.A reads, ‘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.’ To me, this means that every person in the U.S.A has the right to own guns and that the amendment shall not be changed. Modern debates about the Second Amendment have focused on whether the amendment protects the right of individuals to keep and bear arms.

People think that because of the school shooting around the world that no one should be able to have guns. The founders of the American republic desired to keep and bear arms as a fundamental liberty. Pennsylvania was the first state to declare that people have a right to bear arms for the defence of themselves, and the state. In Massachusetts, Samuel Adams proposed that pecable citizens have a right to keep their own arms. The Second Amendment protects individual rights and that Legislative dispute was subject to Judicial review. The Second Amendment provides U.S. citizens the right to bear arms. James Madison originally proposed the Second Amendment shortly after the Constitution was officially confirmed as a way to provide more power to state militias, which today are considered the National Guard. It was deemed a compromise between Federalists, those who supported the Constitution as it was ratified, and the anti-Federalists, those who supported states having more power. Having just used guns and other arms to ward off the English, the amendment was originally created to give citizens the opportunity to fight back against a brutal federal government. In 1791, there was a lot of thought put into the Second amendment.

The Founding Fathers were right to have made sure that every citizen of the USA had the right to own a gun. The US has laws about what type of gun you can own, but the Second Amendment says that we have the right to own a gun. This is saying that people can own machien guns, sawed off shotgus, and any other damn gun they want to own. Modern debates about the Second Amendment have focused on whether the amendment protects a private right of individuals to keep and bear arms, or a right that can be exercised only through militia organizations like the National Guard. This question, however, was not even raised until long after the Bill of Rights was adopted. One issue being discussed is whether the Second Amendment recognizes the right of each citizen to keep and bear arms, or whether the right belongs solely to state governments and empowers each state to maintain a military force.3 The debate has resulted in odd political alignments which in turn have caused the Second Amendment to be described recently as the most embarrassing provision of the Bill of Rights.
