In the context of American law and politics, the Second Amendment protects the right to keep and bear arms. In the United States, you are allowed to use armed weapons (not just guns) to protect yourself, your loved ones, and your property.
“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.”
The amendment was written into law because the Founding Fathers knew that states start becoming tyrannical by disarming its populace in order to oppress them. Effectively, this amendment ensures that Americans are able to defend themselves against tyranny to protect their rights.
It’s part of the Bill of Rights, the first ten amendments to the Constitution of the United States.
“The Second Amendment is the personification of ‘Mercia, baby!”

An especially eventful 'hot second'.
"That video call took a spicy second."
To pour your milk first when making a bowl of cereal. This is usually how to tell someone is an undercover cop or civilian informant.
Don't fucks with that guy. Word on the streets is he's a Cereal Second Guy.
Removing the first slice of bread in a loaf to take the fresher one underneath it. Usually the second-slicer neglects to throw out the rejected first slice, instead choosing to crumple it back into the packet. This eventually leads to third- and fourth-slicing, until basically the whole top half of the loaf is stale. Also applies to: biscuits.
"Why are the first three slices of this loaf all crumpled and stale?"
"Urgh. That would be due to the second-slicing."
