Gun control has EVERYTHING to do with the 2nd amendment; it's why the amendment was written in the first place!!!!!
The Second Amendment has been selectively re-interpreted over the last 100 years or so, but not even the most fervent NRA member believes that it prohibits ANY gun control laws. Most people believe that gun control laws banning convicted criminals from owning firearms are completely reasonable. Gun opponents argue that all guns are dangerous and should be banned, while gun supporters believe that law-abiding citizens have a right to own guns. The plain text of the Second Amendment is pretty clear. The recent "Heller" Supreme Court decision, and the current case of the Chicago gun bans have changed the outlook for gun control laws, and we won't know what the end result will be for some years.
The right of the people to keep and bear arms.
It's the 2nd amendment - so not even part of the original constitution. Something to remember when people claim it's a constitutional right.
The Second Amendment states the right to bear arms of the people. The actual text states "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
Because this one guy sucked my big toe once and it felt good so i gave him my gun. And he said I couldn't have it back and I said oh yes i can. and i went to court and they made this amendment then we all ate chicken nuggets!(:
There is no "gun control" amendment.
The second amendment.
The second amendment of the United States Constitution gives the right of the people to own a gun.
The Second Amendment is the amendment that causes the most friction between gun control advocates and the National Rifle Association (NRA). Gun control advocates argue for stricter regulations to address gun violence, while the NRA strongly defends the interpretation that the Second Amendment guarantees an individual's right to own and carry firearms. The clash arises due to the differing perspectives on how to balance gun rights and public safety.
The second amendment is the right of United States Citizens to Bear Arms (Own a weapon). Gun Control is controversial because it often is borderline unconstitutional.
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.
The second amendment doesn't say anything about gun control. It says the people have a right to keep and bear arms.

Well, you don't have to "have" any amendment. However, the second amendment is the one that refers to gun ownership.
