Are rights something you earn? A look into negative and positive rights.

I think it is also important to note that since you have a right to life, you have a right to defend that life, and if in the process of defending you have to also take someone's life, that is a right that you possess. Of course you should do everything in your power to avoid violence, but if there is no way to do that, the agressor is in the wrong.
