However, the violent riots and looting in American cities during the summer of 2020  \nillustrate another purpose underlying the Second Amendment. In addition to protecting an individual right of self-defense, the Second Amendment more generally acts as a limited government provision that serves to check government abuses, as does the rest of the Bill of Rights. In particular, the Second Amendment contains an anti-tyranny provision, protecting the individual against oppression by government-  \n* Professor of Law, University of South Dakota Knudson School of Law.  \nGARRY-BOOK 2.DOCX (DO NOT DELETE) 4/28/23 11:12 AM  \n346 The University of Memphis Law Review Vol. 53  \nsanctioned factions. During the summer of 2020, this oppression took the form of urban anti-police and anti-racism protests that descended into rioting and looting. In various ways, local and state governments gave implicit or explicit sanction to this mob violence, directed against the private property of innocent individuals. Either by denying the violent character of those protests, or by refusing to prosecute lawbreakers, or even by failing to condemn the violence itself, public officials lent the weight of government to this outbreak of violence. Consequently, the only defense available to private property owners came byway of the Second Amendment. This Article will explore this anti-tyranny aspect of the Second Amendment in light of the urban violence of 2020.  \nI. INTRODUCTION  \nThe debate over the Second Amendment often focuses on the purpose or nature of the Amendment. Commentators argue that it protects an individual right of self-defense, a collective right to maintain state militias, a right to resist tyranny and oppression, or some combination of these. Since the protections ofthe Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms flow from the purposes and aims ofthe Second Amendment, a determination of the latter will greatly influence an understanding of the former.  \nThis Article will argue that the Second Amendment is broad enough to encompass more than one purpose or aim. Like the rest of the Bill of Rights, the Second Amendment serves two general goals. First, it articulates and protects an individual freedom. Second, it functions to limit and check the power of government. In this second function, the Second Amendment more specifically serves a unique government-limiting purpose: it affords the individual a vital if not lastchance right to resist tyrannous factions that operate with direct or indirect gove","cbCaisYUFTXigBl0","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisYUFTXigBl0","pdf",506234,29,"English","# I.
