Description
This amendment states that we have the right to keep and bear arms and they shall not be infringed as long as it necessary to the security of a free state. this means that that people have the right to have a weapon in their home

Historical Applications
This amendment has been challenged by us today when people don't use their weapons like they are supposed to be used ,people defined it when they use their weapon to murder somebody else or something else to kill or threat people,It applied when people go hunting or use it for self defense,the supreme court decided this in 2008 when it decided that two districts of Columbia provisions, one that banned handguns and one that required lawful firearms in the home to be disassembled or trigger-locked,violate this right. It has made a difference because you have to have all of the on safety and no handguns.

Today's Application
