This is just another distraction to hide the ultimate goals of the police-statists.

Hogwash.
I know of no western country that limits ones right to defend themselves beyond the very reasonable limitation of "reasonable force".

Note that one can start a car and run it around one's private property without a valid driver's license.

I don't know about the states but here in Australia one does have this right(the bold section) but with it comes certain responsibilities. For example, you will still be held responsible for any damage or injuries that may occur if you cause an accident. Even if you injure someone who was found to be on your property illegally.
On a side note, I always find it interesting that when "rights" are discussed there is very little discussion regarding the responsibilites that generally come along with the rights. I wonder why that is?
