Not or no
Hi, everyone
Let's say you are talking to a friend and he says "In my country, it is not allowed to have or carry arms." ... Would it be wrong to say "Really? NO right to arms?" Or should I say "Really? NOT right to arms?" Not or no?
Thank you

No right to arms.
'No' goes before general (plural or uncountable) nouns we don't have:
I have no idea.
There is no milk in the fridge.
Why are there no books on the shelves?
'Not' makes a verb negative:
He is not coming out with us.
They do not like French food.
Or goes before adjectives/specific nouns:
I am not the manager; he's over there.
She is not a kind person.
The cat is not friendly.
