Supreme Court Refuses to Rule on Second Amendment

WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court passed up a chance Monday to rule on the Bush administration's assertion that the Second Amendment gives individuals the right to bear firearms.

The justices refused to review two cases in which the Justice Department filed briefs asserting that right, in a departure from past administrations.

The Second Amendment to the Constitution says, "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."

For much of the 20th century, the amendment's language has sparked a political debate as to what the words mean. Anti-gun-rights activists say the amendment applies to state militias, not to individuals. Gun freedom proponents, such as National Rifle Association, say the amendment's language clearly applies to individuals who would make up a state militia.

The courts have mostly adopted the view that the amendment is talking about militia, not individuals, though the Supreme Court, while upholding federal gun laws, has never ruled on the issue.

The Second Amendment to the Constitution says, "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."
