European countries have higher freedom of press than the US. Bearing arms is not a human right in Europe, different culture.

Europe has more human rights protections than the US and stronger enforcement of them, even against the state, by many metrics. Freedom of expression ends where other human rights begin, is protecting hate speech and Holocaust denial really something worthwhile?

So are you claiming that human rights are subjective and not universal? Or that it's acceptable for the EU to violate human rights if the USA is worse in some ways?

Belarus is a European country. How is freedom of the press doing there?
