    It usually goes something like that. I’d like to point out here that there isn’t a constitutional right to wear pants or eat bacon either.

    One could similarly say that the right to wield violence does not mean that you have the right for that violence to actually succeed. Some situations allow for the legal use of deadly force, but that still does not mean the explicit right to kill. If a threat is neutralized and they survive, you can’t “make sure” that they don’t.
