Map: Gun Control

There are more than 300,000,000 guns in the United States. Guns have claimed the lives of more American citizens than all the wars since the American revolution put together. With guns holding a unique place in the American psyche, should there be measures in place to limit gun ownership? What should these measures look like?

Positions

Only the state should be allowed firearms

Only the police and the army should be permitted to own firearms.

Guns should not be restricted in any way

It is every American's constitutional right to bear arms. The government has no right to limit gun ownership.

Gun ownership should be controlled

The Second Amendment doesn't grant unlimited rights. The government can limit ownership in some cases.
