Gun Control

Gun control refers to the rules for selling, owning, and using guns. There are federal gun laws that apply to the entire United States. Each state also has its own specific set of laws. Federal and state gun laws are subject to change and are frequently the subject of debate. The United States Supreme Court also affects gun control in the country because it can grant or restrict access to guns based on justices’ interpretations of the law.

In the United States, federal laws control gun ownership to a certain extent. The laws limit the types of firearms that people can own. They also set rules for how firearms are bought and sold.
