Right to Bear Arms

The Right to Bear Arms refers to the legal ability of individuals to possess and carry weapons, primarily firearms. In the United States, this right is protected by the Second Amendment to the Constitution, which states, "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed." This principle is often debated in terms of personal safety, self-defense, and the balance between freedom and regulation. Supporters emphasize individual rights and safety, while opponents highlight concerns about violence and the need for regulations to ensure public safety.
