I have to vastly disagree with this. The argument hat a gun is a necessity is disingenuous at best.
I love my guns, but too many fuckwads treat it like a toy or some sort of social justice equalizer. It has been proven to me time and again that we cant trust people with unfettered access to fire arms.
Y’all can’t even have political discourse without being violent. So nope, you don’t deserve to have the right to bear arms. (I mean “you” collectively and include myself in this hypothetical).
You are not supposed to operate a car without a license but somehow, trying to regulate guns is big brother trying to take away muh freedoms.
It just doesn’t stand up to actual critical thought.

take away muh freedoms
I understand why my message might suggest that I am American, but I am, in fact, not. I won’t go into details to avoid doxxing myself, but I live in a country with strict gun laws, and, in long term, the lack of civilian firearm ownership has proven to have much worse consequences than the opposite.
To add to my original comment, I believe that “without any kind of permit or registration” should be explicitly stated in every article that guarantees some kind of right, as the lack of such statement often leads to slow erosion of the right, starting with the requirement of declaration, and then permission, which then gets more and more difficult to obtain (example: the right to public protest in Russia, Belarus and Ukraine)
