Question

How had the Supreme Court reshaped it’s interpretation of the 2nd amendment

Answer 1

The Second Amendment is a fundamental provision of the Bill of rights. It protects the states right to maintain a militia, not an individual's right to possess a firearm.  This ruling allowed states to restrict gun ownership and enabled them to pass laws in favour of certain religions, ban some forms of speech and outlaw some kinds of assembly. The Second Amendment in the US constitution confers an individuals right to possess a firearm for traditional lawful practices like self defence.
