Isn't that a bit like saying a gold prospector has a right to shoot anybody in the whole Wild West, all because he can?

Equating murder, even attempted, with defederation - this is a fallacy.

I think that a better analogy would be: if someone shows up at your doorstep, you are free to not let them in.
