The Republican Presidential Candidates Positions on Gun Control

The issue of Gun Control revolves around the interpretation of the Second Amendment to the Constitution:
Amendment 2 - Right to Bear Arms. Ratified 12/15/1791. Note
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

What did the writers mean all those years ago? Did they refer just to the right to bear arms just to raise a militia? Or did they refer to keeping arms for any purpose? Hunting was pretty much taken for granted back then. There were no corner butchers to go to.

The Republican Presidential Candidates who have expressed their opinions on gun control on their Republican Presidential Candidates web site do agree that there must be some form of gun control. Where they differ is in how much gun control there should . Read the opinions of the Republican Presidential Candidates and see if any of them have the plan that you feel is the best.

Senator Samuel D. "Sam" Brownback
Senator Brownback has his position on Gun Control listed on his Republican Presidential Candidates web site:"At the heart of the Bill of Rights is the Second Amendment. This Amendment guarantees an individual the right to keep and bear arms, which is essential, as the Amendment itself affirms, to "the security of a free state." Restrictive gun control laws aimed at weakening this constitutional right are not the answer. Instead, it is important for the government to enforce criminal gun laws already on the books, for communities to stand against gun violence, and for parents to teach children about gun safety."
