The Second Amendment deals with that issue but does not specifically say who can or cannot own a gun.

Well, the US Constitution states in the Second 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."
This has been ruled on by the US Supreme Court directly in 5 cases. Read more about each case here:

Hope this helps. Have a great day.

The US supreme court has deferred to the states to establish criteria for owning a gun, but there is no over all federal standard who can or can not own a gun

The much maligned Bill Of Rights states that the people have the right to form a standing militia and the right to keep and bear arms.
It is part of MY Bible.................
