Content: To some degree, the conservative stance on the Second Amendment has been forged by cultural influences. Many of the traditional “red” states within the U.S are located in the Midwest or the South. Inhabitants from these regions tend to be enthusiastic supporters of hunting and recreational shooting. Indeed, for some of these citizens, a firearm is a source of sustenance. In this spirit, Conservatives honor the traditions and cultural influences surrounding traditional hunting, fishing, and shooting sports. Conservative Philosophy and Gun Control
Conservative philosophy is deeply rooted in individual rights and the retention of traditional social institutions. Although there is no single set of tenets that can be universally viewed as conservative, American conservatism can be fairly characterized as a way of thinking that emphasizes stability and continuity, respect for republicanism, and support for tradition, “the rule of law,” and Christian values. The Conservative philosophy honors the defense of Western civilization from the challenges imposed upon it by a modernist culture, and the encroachments of totalitarian governments and outside entities (the U.N.) headquartered abroad. It should surprise no one who studies politics to discover that Republican ideology concurs with conservative values with respect to the broader justification of gun control. Indeed, Republican views on gun control can accurately be characterized as mostly adverse to gun control legislation initiated at the Federal level.
