Here is the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which grants American citizens the right to own and carry firearms. It should be noted that actor Charlton Heston (The Ten Commandments, etc.) is the president of the National Rifle Association, which advocates for the protection of the rights granted by this Second Amendment from any restrictions.

Amendment [II.]
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.

**
Translation**:

A well-regulated militia being necessary for the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
