EDITORIAL LEARNING AID
Why is this answer correct?
Freedom of expression is a basic right guaranteed in Article 5(1) of the Basic Law. The Basic Law does not guarantee a right to freely own weapons, and both the law of the jungle and vigilante justice are prohibited because only the state may exercise force.
Basic rights protect freedom, not weapons or vigilante justice.
