The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution is the part of the United States Bill of Rights that protects a right to keep and bear arms.The dictionary defines the term "bear" as a verb that means "to be equipped with" OR "to carry". The term "arms" is another word for a rifle or gun. Some examples are "arms race" is a term that describes the race of nations to build the largest army. "Right shoulder arms" is a command used during military drill that tells the soldier to move his rifle to his right shoulder carrying position.Therefore, the term "to bear arms" refers to someone who is carrying a gun.
That depended on which army they were in. The infantrymen of Britain and Canada mostly carried the Lee-Enfield 0.303 rifle. The American Army mostly carried the the M1903 Springfield 30.06 or the M1 Garand Carbine. The Germans usually carried the Mauser Karabiner 98K. -Other troops of all armies carried more 'role specific' weapons such as sub-machine guns, light machine guns and pistols.This is a huge subject, you will benefit from a visit to the library or just to Google " WW2 weapons".That depended on which army they were in.

I believe from the accounts i have read, they respected the rifle greatly, while the average landser (German foot soldier) was armed with a 5 rd, bolt action rifle, dating back to the trenches of ww1, the American soldier had a 8 round, semi-automatic rifle that could lay down effective suppressive and accurate fire. if you want to see it for yourself, attend a ww2 re-enactment/ public battle. you can see the difference for yourself.
Generally, not less than 50 pounds, including rifle and ammunition
the guardsmen were responding to a report of a sniper rifle. Gradpoint master race
No, it is always carried on the side away from the Tomb.
A carbine is a shorter version of a rifle. Named after a mounted French soldier that carried a shorter rifle- a Carabeiner.

Wild guess- but if your question refers to the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers at Arlington Cemetery- no. As the guard walks his post, stops, and conducts an about face, he changes the shoulder that the rifle is carried upon. For information regarding WHICH shoulder, and why, search for information on the Honor Guards at the Tomb of the Unknowns. Interesting information.
Pressed snugly against the shoulder, rifle will push you. Held loosely, rifle will pick upp speed before hitting your shoulder, and kick you painfully.

The manual of arms for color guards armed with rifles must be synchronized so that the rifles move (e.g., off of or to the shoulder) at the same time. Since the left rifleman is at left shoulder arms and the right rifleman is at right shoulder arms, moving to and from the right/left shoulder to the order, present or back the shoulder often involves different "counts" in the movement for each rifleman. To get the rifles moving together one or the other of the riflemen will have to do an occasional pause in the manual of arms so the other rifleman may catch up. When executing the rifle manual, both riflemen will wait for the senior color bearer's command of "Ready, CUT" before executing the final count of the movement.
your DON'T relax the shoulder. the butt stock is held close (tight) to the shoulder. In this manner there is less (pain) recoil to the shoulder.
The answer is no. All the equipment, including the rifle which each IDF soldier receives, belongs to the unit in which he serves in. Therefore when the soldier is done serving, he must return his rifle to the units armory.
Basically they are the same. But a long Barrel and a long shoulder stock make a gun a Rifle.
