It is events like this that spark the heated debate between advocates of gun rights and gun control. The second amendment states “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” (Article II).

For example, the ninth amendment states “The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.” What this means is that we have other rights than those stated in the Constitution, and the government cannot deny us those rights (To Preserve And Guarantee).
