Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

The right to own a gun is today considered fundamental to many in the United States. While the Second Amendment to the Constitution is often considered the origin of this ideal, it actually was instituted by elites as one of many special "white rights" to ensure cooperation against rebellions and subsequently became part of white privileges.

And this topic has become a difficult issue that is part of the daily political debate in United States Politics. Since there have been many events involving weapons and shootings in public places such as supermarkets, school premises, or in the streets, a new tense debate has been created between people that support much stronger legislation to regulate the uses of guns and the people that supports light legislation to carry guns because they think is a Constitutional right.
