Gun rights movement

The gun rights movement advocates for individuals' legal rights to own and carry firearms, emphasizing personal protection, self-defense, and the constitutional protections provided by the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. It aims to reduce restrictions on gun ownership, oppose gun control laws perceived as limiting these rights, and promote responsible gun use. Supporters believe that lawful gun ownership is essential for personal safety and freedom, while opponents often focus on reducing gun violence through regulation. The movement encompasses diverse perspectives but primarily centers on preserving and expanding the rights of law-abiding citizens to own firearms.
