Answer:

The 2nd amendment in the United States related to holding weapons by individuals.

Explanation:

The 2nd amendment written after America got independence from the British. It allowed citizens to fight back against a hostile government. Modern debates about the Second Amendment have centred on whether it secures an individual right of people to keep arms, or right exercised through militia organizations. The Second Amendment referred to the federal government, giving the states to control weapons as they saw appropriate to regulate.
