what does the second amendment say
Here is the exact language of the Second Amendment word for word: â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.â (1791) The first ten amendments to the U. S. Constitution are known as the Bill of Rights. Youâve read about the First Amendment (freedom of speech, religion, etc.) on this site many times. But what do you know about the Second Amendment? Passed in 1791, it has been the subject of debate for over 200 years. The argument has been over itâs exact meaning: whether it applies to just militias or to individuals.
