The Second Amendment

source: Justices affirm gun rights -Los Angeles Times June 27, 2008http://articles.latimes.com/2008/jun/27/nation/na-scotus27
Constitutional Connection: "The Second Amendment protects the right to keep and bear arms"

Explanation Of Connection: Should citizens have the right to keep a gun in the house for self defense?
While other people argue that this is a dangerous law, others in their opinion believe that having a gun in their house is good because they can feel protected against robbers.
This article clearly demonstrates the second amendment from the constitution. Citizens have the power to keep a gun in their own household as a self defense weapon. This article shows the many points of views to the constitution law. The right to bear arm is the power that is clearly noted in the U.S constitution, therefore it should not be taken away. Many disagree because of their safety so either this leading to the necessary for a new constitution or the law should be re-enforced.

I strongly agree with this United States Constitution law because people have the right to have safety in the their own own property (house). I found this article interesting because it showed me the many points of view towards this law, even though I may not agree with many people but I am certain that I would want to have a deadly weapon, which would protect me and keep me safe in my own house.

  1. Good choice of article and I'm glad you were able to freely express your opinion on it!

    In the future, be sure to provide more analysis of the article. You mention that there were multiple sides of the gun issue according to the Constitution--so what were they?
