## Definition

A right to bear arms claim is a legal action initiated by an individual or group alleging that their right to keep and bear arms, as protected by the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution, has been violated by the government or a government actor. The Second Amendment guarantees the right of individuals to keep and bear arms for self-defense and other lawful purposes. A right to bear arms claim may arise in various contexts, such as when a government enacts a law or regulation that unduly restricts the right to own or possess firearms, when a government actor denies a permit or license to possess firearms, or when an individual or group is punished for exercising their Second Amendment rights.
