    Do you honestly think everyone having access to a firearm is a “fundamental human right”?

    Because… it very much isn’t.

    For more about those, you can read on

    https://www.un.org/en/global-issues/human-rights

    And here, in a listed format, and you’ll very much notice the absence of being armed.

    https://www.amnesty.org/en/what-we-do/universal-declaration-of-human-rights/

    Let’s take article 3 as an example of a fundamental human right.

    Everyone has the right to life (and to live in freedom and safety).

    Do you think the US would manage to better protect that right if they accepted the actual science on the issue, rhe one which proves people would be safer and there’d be less gun violence if reasonable regulation was instilled on a national level?

    Hope this helps, because people like you need to be helped so we can help ensure better fundamental human rights in the US.

      I’m not trying to argue with you.

      It seemed that you were trying to make sense of the gun nut mindset. Gun nuts do indeed think firearm ownership is a fundamental human right, so considering it as such is necessary to understand their perspective.

        No no, I’m not trying understand anything here. I’m displaying how delusional gun nuts are, for example by thinking unlimited access to firearms is a “human right”? I mean I know the education in the US is bad, but that’s just… next level bad.
