The United States Second Amendment: 美国宪法第二修正案为美国权利法案的一部份,于1791年12月15日被批准。本修正案保障人民有备有及佩带武器之权利。在2008年及2010年,美国联邦最高法院分别做成了两个与本修正案有关的指标性判决。在哥伦比亚特区诉黑勒案(District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008))中,联邦最高法院判决认为,第二修正案保障个人拥有枪支的权利,不论该人是否属于民兵皆然。并且可以基于合法的目的使用该等武器,在屋内自我防卫。在麦克唐纳诉芝加哥案(McDonald v. Chicago, 561 U.S. 3025 (2010))中,法院判决第二修正案不仅拘束联邦政府,对于州政府和地方政府同样具有拘束力。 lobby: v. /ˈlɒbi/ 游说 lobbyist n. (游说政府或议员的)说客 state v.陈述;说明;声明 第一空()16. A)Angers gun lobbyists.
