People have a natural right to take up arms against tyranny (American Constitution)
1 Thomas Jefferson, the father of the United States (the third president of the United States), once famously said: "Only when the rulers of a country are always reminded that the people should keep the spirit of resistance can the country remain free. Let the people take up arms! "

The Second Amendment of the US Constitution stipulates: "A well-managed militia is a necessary condition to ensure the security of a free state, and the people's right to hold and carry weapons shall not be violated."

This is the first and most authoritative legal provision on the right of citizens to bear guns in American history. The possession of guns by American citizens is legal and protected by the Constitution and other laws. The amendment does not mean that the Constitution gives the people the right to own weapons, but that the people's right to own and carry weapons is inviolable. The founders of the United States believe that this right is not a gift from anyone to the people, but an innate human right.

So it is difficult to get the original sentence in English.

1789 The constitutional amendment that came into effect is also known as the gun clause of the Bill of Rights:

"A well-trained militia is necessary for the security of a free state, and the people's right to hold and carry weapons should not be infiltrated." "A well-organized militia is necessary for the security of a free country, and the people's right to own and carry weapons is inviolable."
