Second Amendment
For the last few thousand years, weapons had scared the world history with hundreds not to say thousands of wars and slaughter of human being. People are to kill or be killed. Weapons are a common element of the modern world. The first weapon dates from the stone age which about 2,000,000 BC. At this time in history, weapons were used to obtain vitals and games. Humans have no slaughtering in between their own race. During the ensuing period humans began shaping stones and bones as weapons to hunt, but only to hunt. By the time we got to the 13th century, knives became a daily necessity due for protections against forest thieves and road robbers. In the 19th century, weapons were used as a tool to win a war. However, the 20th century weapons are now killing machines that are designed to kill, and accompanied to defense. As you can see, evolution brought us in the primary stage of weapons in the modern world. During the American Revolution, large amount of weapons and artillery were used. After the war, the Bill of Right and the 10 Fundamental Amendments were set up for the further expansion of the law. However, one of the Amendments obstructed the balance of citizens’ peace by providing freedom to arm themselves.
In the Constitution of the United States, the Second Amendment stated that every citizens had the right to bear arms. The law stated as in the very first and unrefined amendments of the US Constitution. In the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, "Every able-bodied freeman, between the ages of 16 and 50, was enrolled in the militia...the law requires every militia man to provide himself with the arms usual in the regular service," continues " bearing arms to defend the community was considered a duty of property owing men." (The right to gear arms: Crimes.org) The law was provided at first to the militia revolutionists when fighting against English government during the war. It was later for the aftershock of revolting which possess the American to have this origin law to grave into the Bill of Right, if not for the citizens to protect themselves when England invade. Clearly the law was written for the sake of protecting the citizens and militia services, but holds the opposite for today’s society. In each state’s provisions, the law is stated to be given not to individual reasons but for the protection of self and the state. As written in the provision of Alabama, “That the great, general and essential principles of liberty and free government may be recognized and established, we declare.....that every citizen has a right to bear arms in defense of himself and the state.” However, due to the advancements and evolution, situation shifted have from the protection of self to chaos.
