The second amendment is an exceedingly controversial amendment in the constitution. The amendments right to bear arms was “instituted within the Bill of Rights to suppress insurrection, participate and uphold the law, enable the citizens of the United States to organize a militia, and to facilitate the natural right to self-defense” (Logan). Some citizens suggest the analysis of the “right of people” shows that it protects the individual rights of citizens to own personal guns. From whatever some “citizens” may assume the second amendment to be, it establishes defense, protection, and safety among each citizen. The intents of the second amendment is to delineate upon the freedom of each individual. Moreover, this personal liberty prevents citizens from tyranny and oppressive governing. People have the right to make their own choices and whatever he or she decides to do with that right is up to them. However, one should not use the second amendment to put others in danger like Chris Mercer, the shooter at Umpqua Community College in Oregon. The second amendment justifies individual liberties for people to protect themselves in all cases. From the shooting that occurred at an Oregon community college, the nation’s second amendment has been the topic of debate.
