Where I noted I do not have the right to take your life. I am allowed defense, not murder.

As noted by others, if someone does kill you it really doesn't matter what they used-you are dead.

Your last statement begs the question who decides which are genuine rights? Should we submit to stop and frisk or Patriot Act privacy invasions because society at large has 'genuine' rights that trump our mere individual rights?

Who would you like to give that power to?
