gun rights
Second Amendment protections
Gun rights refers to the legal and constitutional entitlements related to owning, carrying, and using firearms.
In the United States, the term is closely tied to the Second Amendment, which protects the right to keep and bear arms.
Those who advocate for gun rights typically oppose restrictions on firearm ownership and argue that such rights are fundamental to self-defense and liberty.
Gun rights groups lobbied against the proposed legislation.
The term often appears in political debates alongside its counterpart, gun control.
