The Czech Republic now has the strongest protection for the right to arms in the European Union.

I like that their amendment guarantees the right to self defense, but it says with a weapon. A specific reference to firearms , IMHO, would be better. I wish our 2A didn’t mention militias but went right to guaranteeing the right to individuals. Of course, the disarm weasels will twist whatever verbage is used to attack our rights, just like they don’t seem to understand what “shall not be infringed “ means.

Perhaps Americans have a place to which they can expatriate now?

I think there’s a good reason to not use the name of specific weapons. Weapons and arms are generally understood terms that have been firmly ensconced in modern language for centuries. While I wouldn’t put it past the global left to try to redefine the terms, it’s meant to be all inclusive, thus including everything from baseball bats and knives to fists and firearms.

Economically this makes sense. A Czech company just bought Colt.

Just got back from Albania, I think may also be a place to go. They know communism, no mention of Covid there, no masks, nothing. They are still talking about the evils of communism.

CZ Firearms is a Czech company. CZ-USA makes their US sold weapons, so technically Colt will still be owned by a US company ... that is owned by a Czech company. CZ guns such as the P10 are quite good, and they have a number of cool variants of small, light, pistol-caliber carbine's and submachine guns such as the Bren and Scorpion. CZ also purchased Dan Wesson in 2005, and turned them around. Colt has a good historical name but quite frankly, they have run themselves into the ground and their designs have not been innovative in years. The acquisition of Colt by CZ means that the future for Colt is actually looking up, because now they will get rid of crappy management and start coming out with more innovative designs.
CZ really wants to be a top competitor to FNH, who makes the SCAR and is a major supplier of weapons to police and military worldwide. FN Herstal is a Belgium company. BTW, FN owns Browning, and creates well known weapons such as the Uzi, M4A1, and Mauser thru their acquisitions and contracts. The fact of the matter is US weapons manufacturers are really not leading the way with innovative design, and have not for a long time.
CZ USA manufactures guns in Warsaw, Missouri.

The 2A doesn’t guarantee the right to self defense. This right is natural and predates government itself. The 2A says the government cannot infringe on this right.

Don’t forget the Hungarians. When the EU demanded that Hungary accept wave upon wave of Muslim invaders, Hungary responded by quickly building a border wall. That made the EU bureaucrats very, very sad.

To amend your discussion of Colt just a bit, The Colt leadership weren't gun people for at least 30 years - and they weren't particularly good business people either. They had a glass wall between the management and the labor sections and when I interviewed there, (twice: once in 1996 and again in 2000) management despised the labor folks because of a strike that had occurred earlier.
The manufacturing was an interesting mixture of model computer-controlled machines and very old machinery, driven by leather belts from shafts on the ceiling. The workers were proud of they craftsmanship and enjoyed talking about their jobs.
Needless to say, I wasn't hired after I spent time on the manufacturing floor talking to the hoi polloi.
Hopefully, the Czechs will bring firearms enthusiasm back to Colt.

The amendment states that “the right to defend one’s life or the life of others, even with the use of weapons, is guaranteed.” Apparently their Constitution lists what their government guarantees. The idea of the Founding Fathers was that rights are given by God, not the government, so our Constitution lists things the government cannot do, e.g., "... the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
