    In the cartoon depicted above, the artist is depicted vaguely yet efficiently the fact that the right to bear arms is in the constitution and that he has the right to carry and have a piece of weaponry. The second amendment give the rights to U.S. citizens to have weaponry as a form of personal security. In the cartoon the character is holding some type of automatic rifle and stating that he has the right to have one.Its purpose was that if there every was war or any type of heated conflict that people could easily do one thing, use their own weaponry to protect themselves and what they stood for. This is essential because this amendment shows some of the independence that Americans have as a country.

    The second amendment of the Bill of Rights states that "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." This is stating that militias should be founded in each and every state but the people have a right to have their own weaponry for their own public usage. The thing is that the law states that people have the right to have weaponry but it does not say if the process is strict or not. The process is usually very rigorous and very difficult thus why so many cases like McDonald vs. Chicago have occurred. The second amendment though is a very vague amendment because of the fact it does not specify what the procedure is to get a gun. Anyone can get a gun, but if the gun is registered and safe, is where the problem lies.

     In my personal opinion I believe that the Senate should do another Congressional Convention to ratify and change these bills because more strict and precise bills will lead us to have a more successful country. If so things would be more precise and more strict thus leading bewildering comments and ideas in to an area where as things would be more clear so cases like McDonald vs. Chicago would not happen again. A big issue is that this Amendment has a lot of contradictions and is very difficult to understand and to depict it's message. In my personal opinion I believe  that without this bill society would not be functional. I believe that people need this because of the fact that personal protectyion is needed. Thus causing confusion within the United States.
