Amendment 2

Suspect’s Gun Proved Easy to Obtain

Amendment 2- The right to bear arms.

This article is about a man named Faisal Shahzad who was caught making a car bomb. Not only was he caught making a bomg, but he was also armed with a gun. He was however liscenced to a gun permit which gives him the ability to own a gun. But people dont really know if Shahzad fired the gun he had bought. It was said that he bought the gun at a store in Shelton, Connecticut. He is however in trouble for mkaing the car bomb, but he is still questioned for why he needed the gun for.

The second amendment states that someone has the right to get bear arms. "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." Shahzad is protected by this amendment because if he wasnt then he would have gotten in trouble for owning a gun without a permit. But since the second amendment gives the people the power to own a gun, Shahzad will not get in trouble with the law for owning a gun. The only thing he will be questioned about is what he needed it for. Other than that, the second amendment gave him the ability to own a gun.

I dont know how i feel about poeple owning a gun. Its a little scary bevause you cant always trust people. You dont know if they are planning to kill anyone or something. But in this case, it is obvious that he was going to use his gun for something violent. He was making a car bomb, so it will only make sense if he was planning on killing people. He is however lucky that he got the permit to own a gun under the second amendment. But you cant always trust people with the gun. Guns arent so friendly.
