Our only defending army was one formed by volunteers, which consisted of everyday people. To assure that we will always have a military, they wrote the second amendment. If the right to own a gun interferes with public safety, that right can be morally be abridged, in order to protect public safety. This position was upheld by courts throughout the years. This is a pretty bad arguement because the constitution was a document which was made to create a government that could be changed without violence.
People argue that the second amendment clearly states that people have to right to bear arms.
This part of the second amendment states that the people only have the right to bear arms ONLY for the security of a free state, namely, us. If you want to play with guns and weapons of destruction, join the military. Our forefathers wrote this amendment because we HAD no military. Our only defending army was one formed by volunteers, which consisted of everyday people. To assure that we will always have a military, they wrote the second amendment.
