The second amendment has been subject to much debate due to the vagueness in what it means to bear arms. It leaves a lot up to interpretation on what types of guns can be owned, for what purposes, and by who. This video is showing how the vagueness in the wording of the amendment contributes to the debate about gun rights in a rather humorous way.
This cartoon focuses on the first part of the amendment, and argues that the right for everyone to bear any type of weapon is probably not the original intent of the amendment. The text of the amendment is based on the premise of the people, as individual states, have the right to bear arms in terms of keeping a well regulated militia for the sake of the safety of the people, both from themselves and from the government.
