The 2nd Amendment prevents the government from infringing on the
right of the people to keep and bear arms. What it says,
specifically is, �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.�
-See U.S. Const. amend. II.

As you can see, the 2nd Amendment unequivocally declares that a
well-regulated militia is necessary to ensure the security of a
free state. Although use of the word �militia� may seem
controversial to some people, the militia was the cornerstone of
our nation�s independence during the American Revolution.
In fact, militias are still alive and well today. Depending on what
state you live in, chances are that you�re probably a member of at
least one militia!
