Self-defense isn't about fairness or equality. As with most things it is about trumping the other guy.
If he has a stick and I have a gun, he may not have have to die if he's smart.
If he has a stick and I have a stick, we may fight or not depending on if he thinks it would be a fair fight or not.
If he has a stick and I don't, he gets my stuff.
So, no, it's not about morality, it's about survival.
