Ah, Americans. Guns. Is the injury a burglar receives self-inflicted?
Is the castle doctrine sensible?

Do you _really_ want to go there with that analogy?

Stewart,

That's a bit like saying my shooting a gun in your direction is really a
matter of your causing a self-inflicted wound.

In other words, the view you are espousing does not match that of  those
experts you asked to have consulted.  (You really need to look at the
material cited in the draft.  If you have an issue with that material,
please state so, explicitly.)

And for some of the behaviors, it does not match the laws in many
jurisdictions.

The fact that misunderstandings can sometimes occur does not eliminate
the fact of real harassment or bullying.
