The correct answer is Second Amendment: right to bear arms.

The US Constitution clearly 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." This means that citizens and the military have the ability to keep guns in order to keep America safe.
