One of the most significant and THE most poorly written piece in American legislative history. The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution 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." This article is my standby reference that I occasionally return to in matters of gun control. It explains the two interpretations of the amendment - individual v collective arms. It goes on the cite Supreme Court cases and rulings. Overall it illustrates how the interpretation of the amendment has evolved.

The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution 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." Such language has created considerable debate regarding the Amendment's intended scope.
