I found your response difficult to believe, which is to say it
challenged my imagination to actuallypicture someone in my mind who
could say it. The point should be self-evident, but I'll try.

What is it that you like to do, want to do or enjoy doing that, were one
special interest group or another were to manage to have a law passed
against it, (the point of the gun) that it would cause you distress?

It is compulsory that we do not kill another human being, that we do not
violate anothers natural property
rights nor interfere in anothers activities as long as that person is
not harming another (and acts of  mutual consent  do not apply here).

The above are in keeping with the natural goodness of our natures, not
to say that many do not violate
their own natures on a regular basis. Those would would pass into law
compulsory measures, for
example.
