Pro-gun legislation
Pro-gun legislation refers to laws and policies that support the right of individuals to own and carry firearms. Typically associated with the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, these laws advocate for minimal restrictions on gun ownership, emphasizing self-defense and personal freedom. Proponents argue that responsible gun ownership can deter crime and protect citizens. Common measures include expanding access to concealed carry permits, reducing waiting periods for purchases, and opposing bans on certain types of firearms. The debate often centers on balancing individual rights with public safety concerns, making it a contentious topic in American politics.
