@freepeoplesfreepress The right to bear arms is an essential right!
I dont disagree with you in principle, obviously everyone wants to reduce needless death.
But I ask you to consider, why did you choose the language "I would like to eliminate mass shootings" and not "I'd like to eliminate mass murder" or even just murder? You never hear people use any other means as a qualifier "I'd like to eliminate mass stabbings" or "I'd like to eliminate mass poisonings" or any of the other ways people can (and have) been killed en mass. For that matter when you are more likely to be struck by lightening than being involved in a mass murder of any kind, why is that a focus at all, regardless of weapon?
@freemo @freepeoplesfreepress Why is gun ownership so important in the US when no one outside it cares about guns at all? I mean, are people in other countries perceived as less free just because it's more difficult for them to kill others or what? Also curious if you can give an example of other nations where guns might be considered so important, as to be declared a human right?
@mapto @freepeoplesfreepress oh and to answer your question the following nations are nations which explicitly declare the right to bare rights as a fundemental right:
Czech Republic, Guatemala, Ukraine, Mexico, the Philippines, the United States, Yemen, and Switzerland
