The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, adopted in 1791, is part of the Bill of Rights. It guarantees the right of the people to keep and bear arms. This amendment was intended to ensure that citizens could form militias for their defense and security. The exact scope and limitations of this right have been the subject of ongoing debates and legal interpretations. Advocates argue it protects individual rights to own firearms for self-defense, hunting, and recreation. Critics contend that it contributes to gun violence and call for stricter regulations. The Second Amendment remains a highly contentious and polarizing topic in American politics.
