What does bear a gun mean?
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.
What weapons did a soldier carry in World War 2?
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.

What did the Germans think of the M1 Garand rifle during World War 2?
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.
