"The Second Amendment, ratified into the Bill of Rights in 1791, states: "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 amendment grows ever relevant to young people across America. From metal detectors to see-through backpacks to active shooter drills, students face constant reminders of the threat of guns. Some say we need stricter gun laws; some go so far as to demand that we repeal the Second Amendment. Others contend that the Constitution protects an individual's right to own a gun and that nothing should get in the way of that right. Whose Right Is it? The Second Amendment and the Fight Over Guns explains how a once-obscure amendment became an ever-present topic on the news and social media. Filled with historical photos and informative graphics, this book will reveal how gun legislation has always been a part of American history and how money, power, and race have shaped the gun debate"--Jacket flap.
