Gun Control Explained

I am very thankful for Meesol, because she researched and organized the article so well, I could understand what was going on about gun control.
Over the past 25 years, there were many mass shootings in the U.S. However, Americans' support for stricter gun control laws has been generally declining even as the number of mass shootings is on the rise. I was very surprised at this sentence, because I thought everyone was against the gun control.
I also learned about the 2nd amendment, which restricts laws about gun control. There is no consensus about this law.
I came to know about National Rifle Association, also.  Their powerful lobby on politicians, etc.
To conclude, I am very happy that I live in a country with no gun possession.
