Czech Constitution Adding Amendment Protecting Guns for Self-Defense
24 Jul 2021
The Czech Republic’s Senate approved a measure this week to amend their constitution and protect the right to defend one’s life with a firearm.
Prague Morning reports the amendment will be added to “The Charter of Fundamental Rights and Freedoms,” and will say: “The right to defend one’s own life or the life of another person with a weapon is guaranteed under the conditions laid down by law.”
The amendment was pushed because of “disarmament trends in the EU.” Those who pushed the amendment wanted to insure the right to use firearms for self-defense was recognized as being above restrictions which come from “ordinary law.”
