Two statements about the Second Amendment are based on Supreme Court rulings:
a. It allows Americans to use firearms for lawful purposes, such as self-defence.
b. It guarantees that individuals have the right to own firearms
The right to keep and bear arms is protected by the Second Amendment (sometimes known as Amendment II) of the US Constitution. It and the other nine Bill of Rights provisions were ratified on December 15, 1791.
For the first time, the Supreme Court affirmed that individuals had the right to self-defence in the home in District of Columbia v. Heller (2008) with the proviso that the right is limited and does not override some long-standing bans, such as those prohibiting "the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill" or limitations on "the carrying of dangerous and unconventional weapons."
