The second amendment is a very important statement on the right to bear arms. It states that " 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." Firearms were important part of living in the colonies and were used to take land from Native Americans, repel attacks, hunt, and protect the family. At the time of the revolution male citizens were required to own firearms for fighting British forces.
