This phrase appears in the Second amendment.
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.
It means that the government can not forbid individuals from owning and having access to weapons. Its exact meaning has been much discussed and debated
For example, it does not say that people have the right to own every kind of deadly weapon that might be invented in the future. Nor does it say that people can carry deadly force everywhere they go or carry concealed weapons. Consequently, laws have been passed restricting the sales and ownership of deadly weapons and they have withstood challenges in the courts. Due to violent crimes that are committed with weapons. many people favor more restrictions. However, other people are fearful of government oppression, enjoy owning and shooting guns, feel a need to be able to protect themselves from some evil person who might have a gun and strongly oppose further restrictions.
