Why you should support the Second Amendment…
The Second Amendment is a critical part of the United States Constitution and has been unchanged since it was ratified in 1791. The Second Amendment protects an individual’s right to bear arms, but it also defends them from an overreaching government.

“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.”
One of the most important aspects of the Second Amendment is that it helps protect freedom for all Americans. If the government were able to take away people’s right to bear arms, it would be much easier for them to control the population.
There are many reasons why you should support the 2nd Amendment. Here are just a few:
– The amendment protects our right to bear arms, which is enshrined in the Constitution.
– The amendment helps protect Americans from an overreaching government.
– The amendment defends all other Constitutional rights.
– The amendment allows for lawful use of firearms by the individual, to include self-defense.
– The amendment is important for hunters and sportsmen who want to own the firearms of their choice.
Why was the Second Amendment created:
The Second Amendment, like the other nine amendments in the U.S. Constitution, was created to keep the federal government in check by ensuring the rights of the individual to protect himself against a tyrannical federal government.
While we have seen what happens in other countries when they don’t have the right to bear arms, we have also seen people have the ability to rise up against their dictators and take back control of their country. The Second Amendment is a fundamental right that helps us protect ourselves from others and we need to be vigilant in the fight against those want to repeal it. If we lose this right, then we would be at the mercy of others, including our own government.
District of Columbia v. Heller (2008)
The Second Amendment to the US Constitution protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that firearm for traditionally lawful purposes. This amendment was recognized by the Supreme Court in Heller v District of Columbia (2008) when it struck down Washington D.C.’s handgun ban.
This ruling affirmed that individuals have a Constitutional right to own firearms. The ruling read, in part: “The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home.”
This ruling was monumental because it gave Americans a ruling on their individually protected right to own firearms!
McDonald v. Chicago (2010)
The McDonald v Chicago (2010) case set precedence for future decisions, meaning that this will be used again when similar cases come up in other areas or cities throughout America – including individual municipalities within larger states which may allow stricter gun control measures than required at the state level.
In the McDonald v. Chicago (2010) case the Supreme Court ruling made it clear that all Americans, not just those in D.C., should be protected by the Second Amendment of the US Constitution.
In this particular case, a group of citizens from Chicago argued against their city’s handgun ban which violated their Constitutional rights under both the United States and Illinois Constitutions as well as breaking state law. The court ruled on two separate issues: if Americans have a right to own firearms for self-defense purposes outside of their homes or “dwellings” – known as having “standing” – and secondly whether or not the 14th Amendment applied to state laws affecting individuals’ Constitutional rights.
The court ruled that it is unconstitutional to ban handguns, but also expanded the scope of the Second Amendment beyond just federal law and included state laws as well by incorporating the 14th Amendment’s Due Process Clause. This ruling was monumental because Americans now have a federally protected right to own firearms for self-defense purposes outside their homes – not just in D.C., but across all fifty states!
It is more important than ever to support the Second Amendment and ensure that our Constitutional rights are protected!

Miller v. Texas (1894)
The Miller v. Texas (1894) case revolved around two men who were arrested for carrying shotguns in public. The defendants argued that their guns were not in common use by criminals, and thus the law violated their Second Amendment rights. In its ruling on this case, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that there was no infringement of citizens’ rights under the Fourteenth Amendment if a state regulated certain weapons in public — even though it did not regulate them in private, as long as those weapons were “part of the ordinary military equipment” and “not unusually dangerous.”
Presser v. Illinois (1886)
The Presser v. Illinois (1886) case was a landmark decision by the United States Supreme Court that upheld the right of states to regulate and restrict private paramilitary organizations. In Presser v. Illinois (1886), Herman Presser, leader of a group of German immigrants in Chicago, challenged an Illinois law that made it illegal for anyone except members of the state militia to carry weapons. Presser argued that the law violated his Second Amendment right to bear arms.
U.S. v. Cruikshank (1876)
The U.S. v. Cruikshank (1876) case was one of the first cases to deal with the individual right to bear arms, and set a precedent for future rulings on the topic. The Cruikshank case revolved around a group of men who were accused of violating the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871 by conspiring to deprive black citizens of their Constitutional rights. One of the defense arguments was that the Second Amendment protected the individual right to bear arms, and because the defendants were not part of any militia, they should not be held liable.
The Gun Control Act (1968), 18 U.S. Code § 922
The Gun Control Act (1968), 18 U.S. Code § 922 is legislation signed by President Lyndon B Johnson on October 22, 1968, in response to the assassination of Senator Robert F Kennedy and the slayings that year of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr and US Senator Edward M Kennedy.
This act was created “to provide for setting forth restrictions with respect to the manufacture, importation, sale or possession of firearms” including licensing requirements for businesses selling guns; age restrictions on purchases; types of weapons requiring regulation; penalties for violating gun control law provisions such as counterfeiting arms marks or possessing unregistered firearms; increased coordination between federal agencies responsible for regulating the movement of contraband weapons across state lines into illegal channels.
