The Second Amendment in the Bill of Rights of the Constitution of the U.S. guarantees the right to possess (own) and bear (carry) firearms. The consensus, today, is that certain criminal convictions (usually felonies or high level misdemeanors), along with crimes of violence committed with a firearm, acts of insurrection against the USofA, crimes of domestic violence, et alia - disqualify people who have been so convicted from owning and carrying firearms.
