The Second Amendment ( Amendment II ) to the United States Constitution is the part of the United States Bill of Rights that protects the right of the people to keep and bear arms.

Although there is little doubt that the writers of the Second Amendment were heavily influenced by the English Bill of Rights, it is a matter of interpretation as to whether they were intent on preserving the power to regulate arms to the states over the federal government ( as the English Parliament had reserved for itself against the monarch ) or whether it was intent on creating a new right akin to the right of others written into the Constitution ( as the Supreme Court recently decided ).

Gun rights activists in recent decades have sometimes argued for a fundamental natural right to keep and bear arms that both predates the U. S. Constitution and is covered by the Constitution's Ninth Amendment ; according to this viewpoint, the Second Amendment only enumerates a pre-existing right to keep and bear arms.
