** United States **** vs. miller (1939) ** ** The district western **** Arkansas ****, charged Jack Miller and Frank Layton they had a 12-gauge shotgun and the barrel was less than 18 inches long. A well organized militia was necessary to protect a **** free state ****, the right for people to own a firearm shall not be interrupted. Use of a shotgun having a barrel less than 18 inches is not within the judicial reach. Most of the states maybe all of the states voted yes to this amendment the right to bear arms. **


 * Amendment 2 -**** THE RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS **
 * 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.**

I think we should have the 2nd amendment because we should have the ability to protect ourselves during harm. Though this right //can// be used for bad things, like killing other people; it is still necessary to keep this amendment to insure and secure the safety of ourselves, our friends, and our family.**

 * ANALYSIS**
 * If somebody was driving along and a cop pulled the person over and the cop saw a firearm in there and the cop panicked and this cop new somebody got shot a couple of weeks ago by a 12-gauge shotgun and this person had a 12-gauge shotgun in his truck “then I would freak to.” But the cop arrested him and threw him in jail, and the cop didn’t even check if this gun was registered to this person and it turned out that the gun was registered to him for hunting.**
