How to use "Defending" in context?
gun ownership
Gun ownership is one of the most debated and defended rights in America. For many, gun ownership is a way of protecting themselves and their families. For others, gun ownership is simply a way to have fun and shoot things. No matter how people feel about gun ownership, there is one thing that is generally agreed upon - gun laws need to be stricter.
Gun ownership should not be as easy as it is. For example, in many states, you do not need a permit to purchase a gun. This means that people can buy guns without any verification of their eligibility.
