The easy way to tell whether you do indeed have a right against me is to bring a gun to the party. If you try to kill me, and I pull a gun on you, I’m perfectly within my rights; if you try to steal my car and I pull out a gun to detain you, I’m perfectly within my rights. If, however, I stroll into your bakery, demand that you serve me a cake, and then pull a gun on you when you refuse, I have violated your rights—not the other way around.
