Question 7 • 8th Grade US History & Geography A

Which statement is most likely an interpretation of the Second Amendment?

Answer
A
No one should be able to own or use a gun.
B
Only local governments can pass gun laws.
C
Bearing arms is only for the purpose of hunting.
D
There should be no limits on owning and using guns.

Explanation

The Second Amendment protects the right to keep and bear arms. Of these choices, D is the closest interpretation because it supports broad gun ownership and use; the amendment does not say that hunting is the only purpose. The wording of D is absolute, though, and does not mean that courts have found every possible gun restriction unconstitutional.
