Backhanded praise for America via “no other country would permit its citizens such natural rights.”
The core argument here is that ACTING IN SELF-DEFENSE (he claims) should DISALLOW ’SELF-DEFENSE’ AS A DEFENSE OF ONE'S ACTIONS.

You are ALWAYS allowed to claim self-defense in your defense. You are allowed to claim anything at all in your own defense. That is what “defense” means.
In terms of real attack, you are allowed to use as much force as you judge necessary to repel the attack.
It terms of legal justification of your actions, you are allowed to claim anything you wish — whether you can *establish* the claim in court is another matter.

Our justice system does not always work the way an ideal justice system would (none do) — but the letter of the law is correct:
Since self-defense justifies use of force, one can, when asked to justify one’s use of force, claim self-defense. Other citizens will judge your claim.
