=The 2nd Amendment= **" A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of people to keep and bear Arms, shall** **not be infringed."**

Description
The 2nd Amendment gives people the right to conceal firearms inside their residence for protection from intruders.

Historical Applications
The 2nd Amendment has been attempted to be changed by Chicago and Washington D.C. so that handguns were banned. However the Court did not improve of Washington D.C's idea and immediately ignored it. A member of the Supreme Court by the name John Paul Stevens decided that the 2nd Amendment needed 5 words added changing the 2nd Amendment to say > //"when serving in the militia,” so the last part would read, “the right of the people to keep and bear arms when serving in the militia shall not be infringed."//

Today's Application
In today's society people are allowed to store guns in their homes for self defense. However a group of people known as the NRA are planning on banning bullets for guns. The NRA stated the following on a debate against ammunition bans: > //“a move clearly intended by the Obama administration to repress the acquisition, ownership, and use of AR-15s and other .223 caliber general purpose rifles.” The NRA-ILA made it clear that this is but a “continuation of Obama’s use of his executive authority to impose gun control restrictions and bypass Congress.”//
