Overall Summary:
The Supreme Court is recently challenging the strict enforcement of gun laws in many states. The Supreme Court is determining whether or not the Second Amendment refers to local areas having the right to bear arms or their specific state government. Many appeals for the right to have a weapon have come to the Supreme Court as of late. In the most anticipated case, a Chicago citizen requested the right to carry a weapon for protection against local gangs. The Supreme Court has issued a right for an individual to bear arms but it is now up to local and state governments to approve, support, and enforce these upcoming rights.
My Opinion:
I think the right to bear arms is one of the most controversial topics possible. I believe it really depends on the individual case. I think that the Constitution implies that each state militia has the right to bear arms against the federal government but does not specify whether or not it is the states job or the people of the state to protect themselves. However, I think that state rules often are too strict on the gun laws. These laws are hard on average people such as hunters or regular citizens. In larger cities I can see where one would need a weapon of some sort to defend themself however I dontthink that weapon has to be a huge assault rifle, which would be disproportionate tothe issue at hand. Therefore, I think gun laws as they are by state are a bit too strict and demanding however the right to bear arms should be limited based on the circumstances.
