Gun Rights in United States: Changing Interpretations from Collective Rights to Individual Rights
Authors

Abstract
The debate on the interpretation of Second Amendment primarily emphasizes on the question that does the Second Amendment protect an individual right to keep and bear arms or endorses the collective right of states to regulate militia independent of the federal interference? The ambiguity of the Second Amendment texts provides the scope for a different meaning of the rights for the opposite camps. Conservative groups like the National Rifle Association insist on the later part of text ‘right to keep and bear arms’ for promoting individual right approach among American society and political parties, whereas Liberals insist on the collective right approach focusing on the militia clause of the text.
