This video was about an elderly man who when his home was being invaded shot the intruder.The family that lived there was being attacked by a man and needed to protect themselves. The man who was intoxicated had been dropped off by his friend randomly in front of the family’s house. This man was becoming violent and had an assault weapon. These cases happen all the time, even now the desperation for money is becoming higher nad more intense causing more things like this to happen.

Amendment 2: 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 amendment was shown in the video because Mr. Hoover had that right to protect himself. The right to bear arms means they have a right to have weapons used for purposes like this. As a civilian in America it’s a right to be allowed to protect you from any situation where you might be serverly hurt or end up being killed.

I think it’s a good amendment because without it Mr. Hoover wouldn’t have been able to protect himself or he would have been arrested for having a gun. I also think that this amendment isn’t such a great one. I think this, because if we didn’t have the right to bear arms the intruder wouldn’t have had a gun either. This whole situation would have been avoided without the use of a gun. No gun would be in use becaue it would be illegal to have them making it harder for everyday people to buy. This amendment can help protect everyday people but it also can give the attacker a weapon to use.
