Interesting response, thanks. To parent's comment:

If >it's not OK to force everyone else to provide for them.

Along the same lines of thinking:

it's not OK to force everyone else to defend your assets/property/lifestyle

Or at least it's unlikely you will succeed in that effort

No need for such a thing; that is the job we expect of the police in exchange for paying our taxes, is it not?

It is, this was a poorly thought out comment on my part, and after re reading it, it's a bad/illogical argument.
