I suppose you can consider that the high number of deaths due to firearms in the US goes against the right to "life[1], liberty and security of person".

From a European point of view, the US right to carry/own a weapon is so used and out of control that it affects this basic right to life.

If you deprive someone of their life with your weapon, that's a crime called murder. There is no right in the US to actually shoot anyone; you do realize that?
It is not about if you have the right to shoot, it is about if you have the right not to get shot
