Need is a terrible basis to judge rights on. Nobody strictly needs free expression either.

It is widely agreed as a fundamental pillar of ethics and international law that everyone needs free expression.

Article 3: Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person.

Article 4: No one shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms.

I could continue pasting the remainder of the document, but I would argue that the ability to defend oneself (from the State, or other individuals) is the fundamental human right. Without it, all other rights are null and void. Gun ownership is the final fallback for securing our human rights.

Free expression doesn't kill people.

Right, when have words ever been used for anything bad by anyone?
