Gun rights advocacy refers to the movement that supports the legal right of individuals to own and carry firearms. Advocates often emphasize the importance of the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution, which protects the right to keep and bear arms. They argue that responsible gun ownership is a fundamental freedom that contributes to personal safety and self-defense. Organizations such as the National Rifle Association (NRA) play a significant role in promoting gun rights. These groups engage in lobbying efforts, public education campaigns, and legal challenges to protect and expand gun ownership rights. They often oppose regulations that they believe infringe upon individual freedoms related to firearms.
