[Amendment 2]

   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 amendment prohibits only the national government from
limiting the right to carry weapons. The amendment was adopt-
ed so that Congress could not disarm a state militia.

--World Book Encyc., Vol. 4, p. 798o
