Effects of Coronavirus
The right of the United States citizens to bear arms is entrenched in the nation’s Constitution. The United States Second Amendment of the Constitution declares that the right to hold and keep arms cannot be infringed. Gun control has been a very divisive political issue in America for a long time. As mass shootings continue being recorded in America, antagonism increases between opposing arguments regarding gun control. The people who believe in strict gun regulations fear that their safety is compromised in a country where more people are allowed to buy and own guns every day. Opponents of stringent gun control measures also fear losing safety (Hassani, & Oudrhiri, et al., 67). They argue that strict regulation on the right to own guns would leave Americans exposed and unable to protect themselves, especially if the state ever turned against its people. Two recent landmark United States Supreme Court decisions have affirmed that the Second Amendment upholds the right to own firearms for self-defense. Therefore, the debate has shifted on gun control and regulation.
