Second amendment rights are two in number, and are specified in the U.S. Bill of Rights. The amendment says, “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”. We can plainly see that the second amendment allows a well regulated state militia on the one side, and for the people to keep and bear arms on the other. The right to keep and bear arms was not originally conceived as a privilege, but as a social obligation. English law as early as the twelfth century had required all men between fifteen and fifty to keep and bear arms in readiness for the defense of the realm.
