 Here's a question. Suppose you are, you know, you know, the question is, if someone tries to kill you, according to law, do you have the right to retaliate with lethal violence? Well, yes, according to law, you have the right to retaliate with lethal violence. Somebody comes after you, they try to kill you. They violated the law of nature. They have tried to usurp your sovereignty over your own life. Now, is that something you're obligated to? You don't have to? Even though everybody has the right to, if everybody decided to walk away and not punish, it's still not a violation of the law of nature. It's not saying you're obligated to retaliate, but you have the right to. If somebody is going to attack you with a weapon and you have a weapon in kind, a better weapon, somebody brings a bat, you bring a gun. If you decide to retaliate with lethal violence, Locke says, yeah, sure. You have the, I mean, if somebody decides to attack you, right, they're going to kill you, they'll harm you. Even if it's just harm you, right, even if it's just harming you, they are usurping your sovereignty, your authority over your own life. And Locke says, yes, you have the right to retaliate with lethal violence, either in self-defense or punishment. Either one's fine for him. Well, let's just deal with self-defense, right? So let's ask ourselves. I don't know, either one, right? Either self-defense or punishment. Do you agree with Locke in this? If someone is attacking you and you've got a weapon, right, they're going to kill you. This person's coming at you. They're going to, they got murders and tint on their eyes. They're breathing fire from their nostrils. They're going to kill you. And you've got a, you know, you've got your friend, you've got your weapon provided by your two friends, Smith and Wesson, right? And you take aim. Do you have the right to retaliate with lethal violence? Do you agree with Locke in this? I'm not saying accorded Locke. I'm saying, do you agree with Locke that you have the right to retaliate with the violence?
