That is to prohibit state and local jurisdictions as well as federal from infringing on the right of the people to keep and bear Arms; that is, to possess and carry firearms and other weapons.No one has or wants recourse to the 2nd amendment.
The second amendment does not create or grant any rights or privileges.
The point of the 2nd amendment was to prohibit federal jurisdiction over weapons.
There is no denying that of course, but "the right of the people" as stated in the Second Amendment is in fact a universal human right, as any of those listed here.The individual right to weapons and their need is much clearer from the Declaration of Independence, or the 4th and 5th amendments.
