There is not a good argument for self-defense, but there is one for defense of (some) others, and there is one against rape, and there is one for "thou shalt not steal."
However, that takes a detour through ontology and epistemology and theology. My point in this thread is there is a necessary, forseeable problem with a social order predicated upon resource monopolization through issuance of threats against others to control their behavior.
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!
