The preamble to the constitution is basically the same thing as a mission statement. It gave people a short, concise overview of what the constitution was trying to do without them having to read the whole thing word for word.

Did Thomas Jefferson write the Second Amendment?

No, he did not. Jefferson did write a similar, shorter version for the Virginia Constitution in 1776, but James Madison included the right of citizens to bear arms in his list of 12 proposed amendments, ten of which were adopted as our Bills of Rights. Jefferson, who had no direct involvement in writing the Constitution, addressed the importance of a Bill of Rights, eventually convincing a reluctant Madison, and he repeatedly mentioned freedom of religion, freedom of the press, the right of habeas corpus, not keeping a standing army, and no monopolies, but he himself never mentioned the right to bear arms, as he evidently didn't consider it of great enough importance.
