self-defense is the purvey of individual agency, and the individual themselves.

neither the state nor the federal government has the right, nor the capability, to protect everyone all of the time.

the government does not tell me when or how to defend myself in a time of crisis. especially when the government is the threat.

Canadian Government strongly disagrees with that yet they can't and won't protect everyone. In case of Ontario Government. they refused protecting citizens number of times with Caledonia stand off being the largest example.

The bigger problem is that the government has the power to selectively protect people based on their political views, religion, race, etc. See San Jose, Berkeley.

OMG, the Mexican march a few years back, I could literally not get out of the fucking city of San Jose. Like I was trapped in my truck. I had to go to like 4 different freeway exits to find anything that was open.

Only after you defend yourself they tell you "you should of done this"
