The Second Amendment of the Constitution says, "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." A militia is comprised of the civil population to supplement the army in the event of an emergency. Congress has the power to organize the militia to execute the laws of the Union, suppress insurrections, and repel invasions. It is unclear who may be selected to join the militia. However, it is clear that "the right of the people to keep and bear arms SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED." The Second Amendment has also been interpreted as the right to defend oneself against potential government tyranny. Also, the District of Columbia vs. Heller established that a person need not be a member of a militia to possess a firearm but may have one for self-defense. Arguably, a convicted felon still possesses the right to bear arms. Believe it or not, this issue has made it to the Supreme Court and doesn't have a clear resolution yet.

The Gun Control Act of 1968 contains language contrary to that of the Second Amendment, and the 1993 amendment to the Gun Control Act, the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act, goes even further to disqualify gun ownership by those with a misdemeanor conviction of domestic violence. Gun control laws are seemingly becoming more stringent. Certain types of arms are prohibited, such as sawn-off shotguns and machine guns. Guns with a bump stock were made illegal in 2019, but the Supreme Court overturned that ruling in 2024. Former President Joe Biden was seeking a ban on assault rifles during his time in office.
