First, Congress (legislative branch) needs to think of a law relating to gun control. Then, if the president (executive branch) agrees with it, he/she will sign it. Then, it goes to the judicial branch where the court of nine judges decides if it is against the constitution or not. If it is not against it, then it will become a law. So, you basically need all of the branches to make a law.

How does gun control relate to the second Amendment?
Gun control has EVERYTHING to do with the 2nd amendment; it's why the amendment was written in the first place!!!!!
Why did gun control start?
Because of gun crime. The Gun Control Act of 1968 was passed after the assassinations of John Kennedy, Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King. It banned the sale of firearms to people who had been convicted, diagnosed with mental illness or dismissed from the army.
Did Hitler surround himself with children when he announced sought gun control?
No, because Hitler didn't announce gun control. His 1938 gun laws actually de-regulated many of the guns control laws put in place under the Weimar Republic. I can find no historical record of Hitler making a public announcement about these laws, let alone surrounded by children.
Does the 2nd Amendment primarily protect an individual's right to bear arms and prohibit the government from making and enforcing gun control laws?
The Second Amendment has been selectively re-interpreted over the last 100 years or so, but not even the most fervent NRA member believes that it prohibits ANY gun control laws. Most people believe that gun control laws banning convicted criminals from owning firearms are completely reasonable. Gun opponents argue that all guns are dangerous and should be banned, while gun supporters believe that law-abiding citizens have a right to own guns. The plain text of the Second Amendment is pretty clear. The recent "Heller" Supreme Court decision, and the current case of the Chicago gun bans have changed the outlook for gun control laws, and we won't know what the end result will be for some years.
What was not an issue supported by modern progressive?
