> Only in the USA is it normal to think that people should have the right to kill in self defense.

I think you are wrong. At least in Norway where I've lived for the last few decades I'm pretty certain people are found not guilty because of self defense.

> Even more, many think they should be able to defend themselves from the state.. while that is the definition of a lawless society (a society where the state has no way to impose the rule of law).

Persecuting minorities where completely lawful in nazi Germany.

I guess you should be looking for another word because as much as I'm against lawlessness that doesn't cut it here IMO.
