It is. That's why gun control is such a huge debate in the U.S., because we have an amendment that allows the use of firearms. But, yet, our politicians want to ban or limit them? You can see why we have a problem with that kind of legislation coming into effect!

You're misinformed.
Its not about banning guns entirely, its about restricting who has access to such weapons. Should we really allow the violent criminals and severely mentally ill, access to a weapon where they can instantly kill one or more people?
I don't believe so. But the NRA and other silly politicians who support guns for all do.
But then its not just about that, but its also about restricting where exactly guns can be at. You have Texas when is an open carry state, meaning, you can have a gun right there out in the open and nobody can say or do anything about it. Michigan is an open carry state as well, and we had an incident a while back, where a guy brought a gun into a library and they ended up calling the police and he was banned from the library and he ended up suing the city for it.
He claimed that his right to open carry made it possible for him to bring a gun into a gun-free zone such as a library. That's the thing. Should we allow citizens who are responsible gun owners, bringing their guns into areas such as churches, schools, places of business?
I'm not saying they are going to mental and shoot the place up, but there is a thing called common sense.
I think businesses have the right to refuse service. If I can't bring a pocket knife into a government building, then they shouldn't be able to bring a gun into one.
