Read the excerpt from the persuasive essay on "The Right to Bear Arms."

The Right to Bear Arms

It is as plain as day in the second Amendment to the Bill of Rights: ' The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.' This fundamental right was laid out by our forefathers, and is one that should be upheld by the law.

The fact is that guns don't kill people; people kill people. For the most part, gun owners are responsible. They know where their guns are at every moment, and they don't leave them lying around just waiting to be used by criminals.
