Correct answer: Meinungsfreiheit Freedom of expression

Why?

Freedom of expression is a basic right guaranteed by Article 5 of the Grundgesetz (Basic Law). Owning weapons is not a basic right and is strictly regulated. Getting your way by force or taking the law into your own hands is forbidden; disputes are settled by the courts.

Key term: Grundrecht = basic right
