The exact boundaries of the Second Amendment are still being debated in the courts. Generally, the Second Amendment protects the right of individuals to keep and bear arms for self-defense, hunting, and other lawful purposes. Restrictions may apply to certain weapons, such as machine guns and other fully automatic firearms, and to certain people, such as felons and the mentally ill. These restrictions are subject to interpretation and change over time.

It is common knowledge that in 1791 the second amendment gave people the right to own and bear firearms. Over the course of time, this amendment has been examined a number of times by the Supreme Court. struck down the case Wrenn vs the District of Columbia. At this time the Supreme Court made the ruling in 2008 that basically struck down the ordinance that allowed people to possess handguns. Over the next few years, there were many cases brought before the District of Columbia and the Supreme Count. In the case, the District of Columbia v Heller ended in a ruling that stated anyone owning a handgun must keep the gun disassembled or bound by a trigger lock. Basically, the ruling was in favor of the Second Amendment that gave the people the right to own a handgun and bear arms for their protection. 

Certain states have now started to implement stronger gun control laws because of the Second Amendment. Each time a case is tried before the Supreme Court they must examine the case on an individual basis. It is their job to determine if:

  • If the gun law poses substantially on the core of the Second Amendment. 
  • They must determine the core of the Second Amendment if a person has the right to own and bear arms for protection or if the person is a responsible citizen. 
  • The examination almost must include the section of the Second Amendment that allows a person to carry a firearm outside their home for protection. 
Basically, the boundaries of the Second Amendment allow people to worn a firearm in their home for protection and self-defense. But there are some fine lines in the Second Amendment that a person must show just cause why they left their home with this weapon.

When 2A gets in the way they simply ignore it, same as they did with 5A when they wanted to search airline passengers without a warrant.

The exact boundaries of the Second Amendment are not completely clear, but the Supreme Court has ruled that it protects an individual's right to own guns for lawful purposes, including self-defense. It has also been interpreted to limit the government's ability to regulate firearms, though some restrictions have been allowed.

The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution states 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 boundaries of the Second Amendment have been the subject of much legal and political debate over the years. In general, the Supreme Court has held that the Second Amendment protects an individual's right to possess firearms for self-defense, hunting, and other lawful purposes, subject to reasonable regulations. However, the scope of this protection is not unlimited, and many types of firearms, such as those that are fully automatic or have excessively large capacity magazines, can be regulated or banned. The exact boundary of the Second Amendment is still a matter of ongoing legal and political debate, and it remains one of the most controversial and divisive issues in American politics.

The boundary for the second amendment is a subject of ongoing debate, but generally it guarantees the right to bear arms for self-defense within limits set by laws and regulations aimed at protecting public safety.
