Pro-gun rights

Pro-gun rights advocates believe individuals should have the legal ability to own, carry, and use firearms for purposes like self-defense, recreation, and sport. They argue that protected gun ownership is fundamental to personal safety and a key aspect of individual freedoms under the Constitution, particularly the Second Amendment. Proponents often emphasize responsible ownership, legal access, and the importance of firearms in preventing crime and empowering law-abiding citizens. They support measures that respect these rights while encouraging safety and regulation to reduce misuse and accidents, seeking a balance between individual rights and public safety.
