It's a right to own weapons in germany: that's how rights work. The german state merely immorally suppresses that right.

No it's not a right. It is a regulated privilege. This was decided by the german people through our elected government.
You can't transfer your american views and values to our country.

That simply isn't how it works. Do athiests in saudi arabia not have a right to life because the law says apostasy is punishable by death? Rights are a byproduct of human existance.

Human rights are those charged in the UN as being unalienable to human beings. Most of which incidentally, the US has broken.
Owning a weapon is not one of them, it's something that's regulated by a countries laws.

To explain a little, not everything that is a right is a universal human right. For universal human rights you'd be correct, but all the other rights (like the American 2nd amendment) you are wrong.
