22nd Amendment - Two-Term Limit on Presidency. Constitution Center.
Abundant historical evidence indicates that the Second Amendment was meant to leave citizens with the ability to defend themselves against unlawful violence. Such threats might come from usurpers of governmental power, but they might also come from criminals whom the government is unwilling or unable to control.
Constitutional Amendments – Amendment 2 – “The Right to Keep and Bear Arms” Amendment Two to the Constitution was ratified on December 15, 1791. It protects the right for Americans to possess weapons for the protection of themselves, their rights, and their property.
In a landmark Supreme Court decision in 2008, District of Columbia v. Heller asserted that the Second Amendment protected the right of all individual citizens to keep and bear their own weapons to defend themselves, instead of only being for a state-run militia.
In short, the Supreme Court did its job by announcing that the Second Amendment does not protect assault weapons—precisely because they are meant for the battlefield and are not “in common use at the time for lawful purposes.” Id. at 624-25, 627-28; Kolbe, 849 F. 3d at 131.
Federal law outlaws the possession of firearms or ammunition by several categories of people, including: convicted felons. anyone who's been convicted of a misdemeanor for domestic violence or is under a domestic violence restraining order.
Andd so, the flip side though is that weapons that are "dangerous and unusual" do not get protection. So even if you might think, oh well that's fairly common. if it's dangerous and unusual. usually meaning if it's mostly used by those who are intent on doing harm unlawfully, then they're not going to be protected.
The Second Amendment does not guarantee: (i) weapons of indiscriminate destructiveness such as cannons, (2) any right of violent felons or of other felons whom legislatures reasonably identify as likely to misuse weapons.
