Independents are moderates when it comes to gun control. Most are pro gun, but believe in harsh restrictions/stipulations against certain elements such as criminals; felons; legally insane; and those with active protective orders against them. For law abiding citizens, Independents believe citizens should undergo background checks and should complete firearm safety courses/classes. Independents sit in between Democrats & Republicans. Democrats are usually against gun ownership (not all) and Republicans usually are pro gun and believe anybody and everybody should be able to own a gun (not all) while the Independents, as stated before, are moderates.

The difference is that a political party is part of how a politician is identified and interest groups are groups that focus specifically on certain issues. Depending on the issue interest groups tend to support a political party. For instance the NRA which is for less strict gun control laws associates themselves with the Republican Party. An interest group that is supportive of equal rights for all Americans would associate with the Democrat Party.
The second amendment.
Most democrats support legislation that will encourage more responsible storage and use of firearms. Also they would like to prevent high risk people (such as people with criminal records), from having access to them.

Angelina Jolie, is an independent. She is by no means your run of the mill democratic movie star. She has views on gun control and capital punishment to meet most republicans, she also is for most human rights that you'll find democratic gawking at. She is most like a libertarian.
The Democratic Party.
Generally speaking, the Democratic Party believes in significant restrictions on the right to bear arms ("strict" gun control), while the Republican party believes only in restrictions on criminal ownership of guns ("lax" gun control). Note that both of the above are generalizations of the national Party platforms - local party platforms and the beliefs of individual politician members of both parties can differ widely from the national party platforms.
Democrats
Nominally, Republican party does not support gun control legislation, except measures which restrict criminal use of firearms. However, in reality it varies with the individual and the circumstances. Some notable Republican figures have supported gun control measures when it was politically convenient. For instance, President Reagan signed the 1986 FOPA into law, which had the effect of closing the machine gun registry.
The Democratic Party is not against the Second Amendment, it is merely for gun control. The idea of gun control is that you shouldn't be allowed to own an AK, because the only reason to own an AK is to kill other people. Republicans usually charge that because Democrats are pro-gun control, that they are anti-second amendment, but those are two different things.
If you are "pro" in the gun control debate, you are for less gun control. In other words, you are "pro-gun".

Niccolo Machiavelli, a 16th-century political philosopher, did not specifically address the issue of gun control. His works primarily focus on governance, power dynamics, and the qualities of effective leadership. While his writings may provide insight into political strategy and authority, his views on modern-day policies like gun control would be speculative.
