Can you tell me how the US acknowledges the citizens rights to bear arms and form a militia to protect the country?

The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution states that "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 gives individuals the right to bear arms and forms a militia in order to protect the country. Additionally, some federal and state laws regulate the ownership of firearms, such as prohibiting individuals from purchasing firearms if they are a convicted felon or posing a threat to public safety. This serves to balance the right to bear arms with public safety concerns.
