In short, the Second Amendment states that as an American citizen, you have the individual right to arm yourself. The amendment also firmly establishes that the government cannot infringe on that right.
The Second Amendment was written to protect Americans' right to establish militias to defend themselves, not to allow individual Americans to own guns; consequently, gun-control measures do not violate the U.S. Constitution.
During the Constitutional Convention, the Framers understood the necessity of a citizen militia to resist a potentially oppressive military if constitutional order broke down. The Second Amendment codified the individual right to firearm possession to combat this fear.
Citizens may propose amendments to the Florida Constitution through an initiative petition process. In addition to other requirements, this initiative petition process requires a specific number of petitions to be signed by registered Florida voters before the proposed amendment by initiative can appear on the ballot.
Amendment Two to the Constitution was ratified on December 15, 1791. It protects the right for Americans to possess weapons for the protection of themselves, their rights, and their property.
Andd so, the flip side though is that weapons that are "dangerous and unusual" do not get protection. So even if you might think, oh well that's fairly common. if it's dangerous and unusual. usually meaning if it's mostly used by those who are intent on doing harm unlawfully, then they're not going to be protected.
The Florida Constitution Article 1, Section 20 states: The right of the people to keep and bear arms in defense of themselves and of the lawful authority of the state shall not be infringed, except that the manner of bearing arms may be regulated by law.
