>Human rights are the rights that should be respected by anyone; if you need some sort of self-defense by definition you are taking actions derived from a violation of your rights; so your self-defense is already out of any kind of human rights paradigm.

There's no logic in that statement. I have a right to self defense, and for the state to deprive me of the means of self defense is a violation of my rights.

Irrelevant. I don't care about suicides or legitimate shoots. For the purposes of this discussion only murders matter.
