Second Amendment

The so-called "right to bear arms" amendment to the US constitution, ratified in 1791.

The preamble reads: "A well-regulated militia being necessary to the protection of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. " But the wording is open to interpretation and as a result it has become the focus of fierce debate between supporters and opponents of gun control.
