As it often does, the Supreme Court avoided ruling
directly on the constitutionality of the Second Amend-
ment right to “keep and bear aims;” and decided instead
that citizens may be prohibited by local or state laws from
keeping handguns in their homes.

: Constitution guarantees citizens the right to keep as many
handguns as they like.

been a running argument about its meaning. Some con-
tend it places no restraint on citizens’ right to keep hand-
guns in their homes, while others insist the amendment Jack Anderson ' ~
' applies only to arming a militia. ■ _
