Is there a human right of self-defense?

I believe there is... to hell with what any government or entity says. According to the United Nations Human Rights Council Subcommittee on Human Rights there is no human right of self defense. Basically, per the UN, your option when attacked is to roll over and die.

No government can defend you on a moment's notice. When you condsider the source of this decision, it makes sense. The "great unwashed masses" are seen as a collective... losing a few of us here and there isn't a tragedy, it's to be expected. What matters is the armed protection of governing (or, if you like, dictating) bodies.

I am curious to hear what my fellow peons think about this matter. Thanks for your time.

    You have an inherent right of self defense. If someone attacks you, you are legally allowed to defend yourself with matching force.
