The American Consititution came with a Bill of Rights which lists the freedoms of American citizens. The Second Amendment states that everyone has the right to bear arms. Most citizens have guns as a self-defense tool instead of an offensive tool. This is because the founding fathers wanted the American citizens to be able to protect their property and family, and defend against a corrupt and tyrannical government.
