The Second Amendment in the Bill of Rights of the United States is a hotly debated political topic today. It 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.

The political debate around this issue seldom changes, dividing “Right” vs. “Left” political ideas as to just who should and should not have the right to bear arms, and what kind of “arms” should be allowed.
