i'm way ahead of you there. i've read plenty of locke, hobbes, and aquinas. natural law (violence) is the law above all man made laws.
the point is that you don't let the lions into your home and then decide one day it's time to suddenly put the lions in their place while more lions are walking in. first you close the gates. start incentivizing the lions to leave, and hold the violence until the holdouts won't leave voluntarily. it's way less bloody for everyone. and cheaper too.
