Why are Republicans and conservatives against strict gun control?
What about background checks? Don't Republicans and conservatives support universal background checks?
While both Democrats and Republicans agree that background checks can be an important part of preventing gun violence, they differ on the specifics of what that entails. Republicans generally support improving the current background check system but are hesitant to support measures that they believe could infringe upon the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens.
