Do indicate which Article in the UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights is an equivalent to the Second Amendment and then I will openly acknowledge that the Second Amendment is, in fact, a human right. I'm not seeing one anywhere. It's like the world has achieved a consensus on the matter and yet still has found ways for the common man to be able to lawfully defend himself. I guess the Second Amendment isn't a human right, after all. It's more of a...hmmm...a worthy hypothesis, albeit one disproven by reality.
Why, there are even dozens of countries without such an equivalent in their founding principles and somehow they are doing just fine. Such as West Korea's Canadian neighbors; they don't even need a giant moat to pull it off like England, Japan and Australia. The largest undefended border in the world and still managed to grant The People their human rights while avoiding a murder hose infestation.
As you can see, Scotsmen such as I--True or No--are not defending or advocating the deprivation of rights at all. We are, however, calling out a refuted hypothesis for the debunked hyperbole that it is. Oh, and criticizing it accordingly.
