==One Answer== The United States government is not trying to interfere with your right to gun ownership. There has been a struggle over the Second Amendment for centuries. There has always been individual lawmakers on both sides of the issue. The ones who seek stricter regulation of firearms believe that will have an impact on the easy availability of guns by criminals. The opposition thinks gun owners should be protected at all costs. The present administration has supported the latter and the anti-gun-control lobby has always been stronger than the opposition. Many people think the opportunity for gun control has passed. Guns are now a part of the fabric of American life. In answer to that dilemma the gun lobby proposes that every American should be armed in order to protect themselves from gun violence.

Which amendment limits the power of the government?
Articles I, II, and III in the Constitution specifically state the powers that the government can exercise. The Bill of Rights (Amendments 1-10) state all the rights that citizens have that the Government can not take away. And the 10th Amendment states, "the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." This means that unless the power is given to the Government in the Constitution, then the power is held in the hands of the State or the people. Thus limiting the power of Government. Hope this is what you were looking for.
