In McDonald v. Chicago, the U.S. Supreme Court selectively incorporated the Second Amendment, which protects the right to keep and bear arms.

This decision effectively extended the Second Amendment's protections against state and local government infringement, reinforcing the individual right to possess firearms for self-defense.
