The Second Amendment guarantees the right to “keep arms” without specifying the types, and the right to “bear arms” without limiting it to a specific place: “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.” In District of Columbia v. Heller (2008), the U.S. Supreme Court held that the right extends to individuals and invalidated the District’s handgun ban. And in McDonald v. City of Chicago (2010), the Court held that the right extends to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment and struck down Chicago’s handgun ban.
