Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow. The Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which is a frequent source of controversy in public debates, says that "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." The controversy stems from the fact that some Americans feel that the Second Amendment guarantees all citizens the absolute right to own firearms, while others believe that some restrictions on gun ownership are consistent with the Second Amendment.

Which of these sentences provides the best argument for the right to own a gun? My Dad has a gun, so why shouldn't I? I have a gun in my home to protect my family in case someone breaks in. Guns make people look cool, and I love to carry my gun around to scare people. I use my gun to scare the raccoon that goes through my trash cans.
