Why should the government enforce my beliefs on others? Why shouldn't someone be allowed to disagree with me? The government is not there to provide or enforce a societal standard when it comes to individual rights, especially those rights that are natural rights listed in the constitution. The government has no real responsibility to you and reading the gonzale vs. castle rock decision should tell you that.
The primordial order of strong ruling the weak is an animal kingdom rule, not a human society rule, and as such humans have every right to use whatever means necessary to defend their life. The government does not 'grant' me these rights, they are natural rights granted to us by our creator. They pre-exist the government.
