Self-Defense

Most Liberals believe that the right to defend self, family, other people, and property is a Natural Right. Most Liberals believe that the transfer of the right of self-defense is one of the basic tenants of popular sovereignty. Liberals disagree among themselves how much of this right has been transferred to government and how much remains with individuals. As with other rights and freedoms, Liberals believe that with the right of self-defense can be abused, and comes a corresponding responsibility to use that right properly.
