Awesome stuff, my man! You are really rocking this; you really give a good list of how every country respects freedom to a degree and the best countries for certain kinds of freedom. Honestly though, I prefer America because our gun rights are decidedly better than almost any other nation.
Most states allow modern long guns (including semi-automatic rifles up to .50 BMG) without any permit, as well as unlimited capacity firearms magazines. We can own full auto legally by federal law; most states allow it with the right paperwork. We can own suppressors and use them, as well as SBRs.
Several US states are tax havens, and to no surprise, they are usually the best states for other freedoms such as guns. New Hampshire is really it; New Hampshire is probably the most libertarian state in the US and it is the best proof for libertarianism that it works. Despite having no income taxes and being a tax haven, as well as having the most relaxed gun laws in the nation, its crime rate and poverty rate are the lowest; it has half the homicide rate of neighboring states such as Vermont and Massachusetts which have stricter gun laws.
America is still the best, IMHO.
The Czech Republic ALSO allows unlimited capacity firearms magazines.

EU Law passed in 2019 pushed them to OFFICIALLY BAN semi-auto centerfire rifles and handguns equipped with magazines over 10-20 rounds, BUT just as with Switzerland, the Czechs continue to allow ownership of such weapons with a SHALL-ISSUE exemption permit.
