It Looks Like the Czech Republic Might Get a Second Amendment
" Well, sort of.
Following the Velvet Revolution, the newly formed Czech Republic passed a law legalizing the purchase of a firearm for citizens without criminal records. Although the former Czechoslovakia had a rich history of firearm production, under fascism and Communism personal ownership was largely forbidden. "
"
"...conservatives have been attempting to add the right to bear arms as one of the "fundamental human rights and freedoms." It now looks like it may happen.
A few years ago, the amendment passed through the lower house of the Czech parliament but was stopped in the upper house. The proposed language read as so: "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."
