The Bill of Rights was added to the American Constitution all the way back in December of 1971 and a part of this was the Second Amendment. It exists to protect the rights of the individual to \u2018bear arms\u2019 or personal weapons, such as firearms. However, in recent years this part of the law in the United States has become somewhat controversial. This is mainly due to a number of high profile shooting incidents<\/a> where members of the public were killed by someone bearing arms. As a result, lots of Americans think that the law should be scrapped as it would potentially save lots of innocent lives. Not everyone is opposed to the second amendment and some would simply like to see it restricted so that people who are mentally unwell are not able to have firearms or any other types of weapons on them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you do not understand this controversy and are a lover of the Second Amendment, then show your appreciation for it by flying a 2nd amendment flag<\/a> at your home, place of work<\/a>, or wherever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why Is It So Important?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It may be easy to think that revolutionary Amerricans simply added the right to \u2018bear arms\u2019 to the Bill of Rights just so that they could freely carry firearms when out hunting. Although lots of people back in those days did partake in hunting, this is not the reason for the Second Amendment. It was introduced in order to allow people to protect themselves from what, at the time, was a tyrannical government. This is similar to how the revolutionaries fought off the King of England and they wanted to \u2018bear arms\u2019 in case the government ever wanted to remove their rights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
