Gun control activist David Hogg has said that he thinks the Second Amendment was not intended to be “an individual right” but that it “has been intentionally misinterpreted.”
The text of the Second Amendment 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.”
“After reading about the history of the second amend and talking with a lot of hist & law professors- I believe the second amendment has been intentionally misinterpreted. It was never meant as an individual right it was created to protect state militias like the national guard,” Hogg wrote.
