CONGRESS in 1866, 1941 and 1986 REAFFIRMS THE SECOND AMENDMENT The Bill of Rights, including the Second Amendment right to keep and bear firearms, originated in the United States Congress in 1789 before being ratified by the States. On three occasions since then--in 1866, 1941, and 1986-- Congress enacted statutes to reaffirm this guarantee of personal freedom and to adopt specific safeguards to enforce it.
