Yes, first and foremost the right to bodily integrity, since rights are no good if you are dead. The two biggest killers of people in the US who are otherwise many many years from dying are guns and cars, and in both cases a large number of those dead had neither a gun nor a car in the moment. If the state is going to use its monopoly on anything, it should obviously be those two.

The state’s job isn’t to enforce prior restraint on others who have done nothing to violate your rights.

The state's job is whatever we tell them it is. This is a democracy, not a want ad.

If that’s the kind of tyrannical state and use of a monopoly on violence you aspire to, sure.
