The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution is the part of the United States Bill of Rights that protects a right to keep and bear arms.
The dictionary defines the term "bear" as a verb that means "to be equipped with" OR "to carry". The term "arms" is another word for a rifle or gun. Some examples are "arms race" is a term that describes the race of nations to build the largest army. "Right shoulder arms" is a command used during military drill that tells the soldier to move his rifle to his right shoulder carrying position.
Therefore, the term "to bear arms" refers to someone who is carrying a gun.
