The ideal response will:
a. Discuss how in 1939, the Supreme Court in the United States v. Miller argued against the transportation of sawed-off shotguns.
b. Discuss the 2008 Supreme Court case, District of Columbia v. Heller, where the court argued that the right to bear arms is an individual right. Thus, the District of Columbia’s strict gun law violated the Second Amendment to the Constitution.
c. Discuss that the issue hinges on interpretation of the “well-regulated militia” clause in the Second Amendment. To some, this means that restrictions on fire arms should only apply to well-regulated militias. To others, this grants a wide-ranging right to bear arms because it applies to ordinary citizens.
d. Discuss what the term “arms” means. To some, this should only apply to the type of arms that the founders had access to. To others, arms might refer to any type of firearm.
