MLeake, would never dream to deny you your ability to defend yourself. I would however suggest the ideas of having some rules and regulations is the right of any society. If there are no rules then that freedom applies to all including those who would harm with malice, don't have the common sense to be responsible, etc> So as a society we try to strike a balance that weighs the rights of the individual against the common good of the society at large. That is a sometimes difficult line to walk and no society ever does it perfectly.
With out the above we are not a society / or a nation / or a country, we are simply a "geography"populated by individuals whose only constriction is self interest.
