For many years, the concept of enforcing or tightening gun control has been very controversial. According to a survey conducted by the Pew research center in April of 2021, about 50% of the people in the United States see gun violence as by far, one of the biggest problems in the country today.

Precautions like extensive background checks can interfere with our rights by delaying law abiding citizens from purchasing and/or acquiring a firearm which could prevent the people from exercising their rights to bear arms.
