United States citizens have the right to keep and use firearms for national security.

Question

Example(s): Josue owns a hunting rifle. He also has several other registered weapons in his household for protection.
What does the amendment say?

Answer 1

The right to keep and bear arms in the United States is primarily protected by the Second Amendment to the Constitution. The Second Amendment states:

"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."

This amendment has been interpreted in various ways over the years, but it generally affirms the right of individuals to possess firearms, often in the context of both personal protection and participation in a militia or national defense.
