There isn’t one answer to this question, and the answer isn’t strictly associated with the political party a person is affiliated with. But one theory, is many individuals assign more value to the right to own guns for sport or self-defense, than the lives lost by gun violence, because most individuals against gun control legislation are not impacted by gun violence.<|im_end|>
