Original Note:
The Second Amendment does not explicitly state that the right to bear arms is only for the purpose of a well-regulated militia. In 2008, the Supreme Court ruled that 2A safeguards an individual's right to own firearms for personal use, separate from militia service. https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/second_amendment
