Isn't our take on freedom of speech rather out of line with international norms? And probably also our take on bearing arms being a right?

I don't think I buy the implied claim that being out of line with norms is necessarily a bad thing.

Those two examples are literally written down as amendments to the Constitution itself. If France or Germany wanted to amend theirs to reflect free speech and the right to bear arms,, they are free to do so. Likewise, if the Untied States wishes to enshrine a right to abortion analogous to free speech and arms bearing, it is also free to do so.

I'm not following how you think these are comparable.
