35. Ah yes, the basic human right to shoot other humans

We wouldn't want to mess with that kind of "family fun", would we now. You see, most people in the "free world" don't consider walking around with a firearm a "basic human right". In fact , they think walking around in peace to be a basic human right, not being surrounded by untold numbers of armed individuals.
