I see you slipped the word "violence" in there. Perhaps you misspelled "defence"?
The State is the primary perpetrator of violence, not "the right".
You shouldn't be thinking in "left vs right", but in "individuals vs the state". The only things sitting between your liberties and the State are: its constitution (if any), and the "militarized right" (gun owners).
There's some historical examples of individuals giving up their guns, perhaps you should read into what happened afterwards?
If I had to choose between “cancel culture” versus militarized violence, cancel me any day.
