Best Answer

The term is generally used to denote laws or regulations that restrict manufacture, sale, ownership, or use of different firearms. As an example, laws may limit the age at which you can buy a firearm, forbid making certain types of firearms, limit where firearms can be carried, etc. Most people do not realize that the US already has more than 20,000 laws already in place that deal with firearms.

It means the restriction of the sale and use of firearms. In America, where guns have been a major source of controversy, supporters of firearm ownership campeign for "gun rights", while opponents campeign for "gun control".

People that are in favor of creating more laws regulating the manufacture, sale, and possession of guns are Pro Gun Control. Now, personal opinion- This is a belief that you can control BEHAVIOR by regulating THINGS. The US already has over 20,000 firearms laws in Federal, State, and local level. When someone violates a law, politicians rush to enact more laws.
