Mexico has it in its Constitution. It has been “interpreted” to mean that Citizens have the right to arms, if they make at least two trips to Mexico city to submit an application and buy a gun at the one and only official gun store.

So much for a Constitutional guarantee with out the cultural will to back it up.

None like the USA, where it’s a right that “shall never be infringed”, but Mexico, Guatemala and Haiti are the only other countries with constitutions that state a right to keep and bear arms, albeit as a “positive” right (granted by government) and with several restrictions (e.g. Haiti’s chief of police must authorize ownership).

Switzerland has no constitutional guarantee. Their Weapons Act does not allow ownership of machine guns.
