That's not the point. The right to bear arms is part of the founding document that had to be written for the colonies to even sign the Constitution. Without every right in the Bill of Rights, we would never have been a nation.
It doesn't matter if the rest of the world doesn't have this right. What matters is that we do, and any prohibition of it is evidence that the government is overstepping its bounds and performing unconstitutional acts by restricting us in ways explicitly disallowed.
