Second Amendment protects an individual's right to possess a firearm. Protecting Americans safety

In the United States, the right to keep and bear arms is codified in the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution. The text of the amendment reads:
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.[34]
The intended meaning of the amendment has long been disputed between supporters and opponents of gun rights, with opponents arguing that "well-regulated militia" allows firearms regulation, while supporters placing emphasis on the second clause.
