ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Gun politics

Alright, kiddo! Gun politics is about how people feel and what laws we have around guns, which are those things that shoot bullets.

Some people think everyone should be able to have a gun whenever they want, and other people think only certain people should be able to have them, or even that nobody should have them at all.

There are laws that say who can have guns, what kind of guns people can have, and where people can take guns. Some people want to make those laws stronger, while others want to weaken or get rid of them completely.

So, like with most things, people have different ideas about what the rules should be around guns and why. It's a big debate, kiddo, that people have been having for a very long time.
