The Gun Rights in American politics and society continues to be a highly debated issue in the twenty-first century. It is in the wake of tragic gun violence that the subject has gained renewed importance in the recent years. However broadly the debate can be split into two sides. On one side, the advocates of gun control claim that strict regulation of firearms would greatly contribute in curbing gun-related violence. On the other hand, partisans of gun rights claim that ownership of guns is a fundamental right of every American citizen and it is instrumental in the act of self-defence. Such diversity of thought is further animated by the different interpretations of the American Constitution.
