ONLY 2 OTHER NATIONS HAVE A CONSITUTITIONAL RIGHT SIMILAR TO THE U.S. SECOND AMENDMENT. Other than the U.S. only two other national constitutions have something similar to the American Second Amendment. Interestingly, these two are Mexico and Guatemala.

It appears that individual gun rights are increasing being sacrificed to government power. It is disturbing to see how few governments trust their own people.
