My analysis finds that gun culture in the U.S. For the most ardent gun rights advocates, gun violence – as horrible as it is – is an acceptable price of that freedom. I have found that for those Americans who see the gun as both symbolizing and guaranteeing individual liberty, gun control laws are perceived as fundamentally un-American and a threat to their freedom.
Nevertheless, the bill was denounced by other Republicans in Congress and was opposed by the National Rifle Association. In order to attract Republican support, the new law does not include gun control proposals such as an assault weapons ban, universal background checks or raising the purchasing age to 21 for certain types of rifles. President Joe Biden signed it into law just two days after the Supreme Court’s decision was released. Support for gun rights among Republicans played an important role in determining the contents of the the bipartisan Safer Communities Act, the first new gun reform bill in three decades. Mayor Eric Adams, expressing his opposition to the ruling, suggested that the court’s decision would turn New York City into the “Wild West.” Contrary to the imagery of the Wild West, however, many towns in the real Old West had restrictions on the carrying of guns that were, I would suggest, stricter than the one just invalidated by the Supreme Court.
