Gun rights have been a fierce political issue in the United States for decades. Ever since urbanization began and firearms have become deadlier, faster, and more sophisticated, there has been a tenuous divide over what the 2nd Amendment truly means.

However, I do not believe that this should impose on the constitutional rights of marriage. Someone else’s sexual orientation is their business and should not be imposed upon by the government. I consider myself a liberal in this situation because I believe that the rebuttal of the right of marriage to homosexuals is unconstitutional.
