MEDAL AND FAN ? PLEASE HELP 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 is a defense, in keeping with the Second Amendment, of mandatory criminal background checks as part of the process of gun ownership? (5 points) Background checks preserve the security of the state. Background checks keep criminals out of the militia. Background checks help identify people who will own guns. Background checks help preserve the rights of the people.

A - Background checks preserve the security of the state. Without having background checks on the people who buy the guns, how do we know that we're not just giving the gun to a past murderer or something?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B - Background checks keep criminals out of the militia. Running background checks on people will show their criminal history, so if they are a criminal, yes, this will keep them out of the militia.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C - Background checks help identify people who will own guns. It doesn't really matter about their identity. Like, their name. It matters as if they have criminal history or not.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D- Background checks help preserve the rights of the people. No, because what if someone didn't want to get a background check to get a gun but had to, that's not really giving them a right.

Hope that helped :p

I'm going to go with A or B C and D are definitely out.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But since this whole thing is about the Militia I'd go with B. Like I said, hope this helped, sorry for babbling. xD
