Gun Control
Gun control is one of the most divisive issues in American politics today. For many, it boils down to a basic debate over priorities: the constitutional right to bear arms and protect oneself vs. an effort to reduce violence. The U.S. has the highest gun ownership rate in the world and the highest gun violence rate of any Western nation. It also has some of the loosest gun control laws.  Attempts to enact moderate new gun control measures have been voted down in the Senate, due in part to the powerful political influence of gun rights groups like the National Rifle Association.
