How does Second Amendment play a role in gun control debates in United States?
Second Amendment only applies during times when citizen militias are necessary for national defense purposes.

Second amendment explicitly states certain types of firearms are exempt from regulation.
Gun control advocates use the second amendment as evidence supporting strict regulations.
