Gun control has been an issue in the United States even before the country was established, and declared independent. The first ever attempts by the British were embargoes on gunpowder.

Gun control advocates usually always invoke the second amendment in arguments related to stricter gun laws while the anti-gun side claims the second amendment does not include rights of an individual.
