What is controversial about the following:
No one has the right to initiate/use force against one who has not used/initiated force himself.
Do you agree with the statement?

“ Being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty, or possessions.” - John Locke
“ Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law', because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual. [...] No man has a natural right to commit aggression on the equal rights of another, and this is all from which the laws ought to restrain him." - Thomas Jefferson
“ Every man is free to do that which he wills, provided he infringes not the equal freedom of any other man.” - Herbert Spencer
“ the only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others.” - John Stuart Mill
