Is that the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution, part of the Bill of Rights? or the 2nd Commandment, as given to Moses?
2nd Amendment- "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."
I acknowledge my right to own a gun. I also acknowledge the spirit in which this amendment was originally written (A tyrant loves an un-armed populace.). No, I don't own a gun, currently- I see no need for it in my life. If we could afford it, my husband would own a gun (and the necessary licenses) for hunting (pretty tight budget, right now).
2nd Commandment- "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth."
God is a "jealous god". He expects us to worship Him, not some statue or picture or some other man-made symbol. I feel that I do. I appreciate art for what it is- talent, beauty, representations of people, places, things and ideas, but I do not worship the art, itself.

Second amendment or second commandment?
I don't own a gun, and I don't have any idols. I don't own a gun since they're dangerous (but I think people should have the right to own them if they want to) and I don't worship idols since I'm a christian.

Question makes no sense, there's nothing unchristian about the right to keep and baer arms.

in the bible it says "though shalt not murder".... not though shalt not kill.....
Murder is premeditated... or planned
if i kill someone in self defense i have not sinned so i do believe in the second amedment
