The best description of Rights as I see it, is if I cannot legally tell you not to do something, then neither can the state.
I can legally keep you from murdering someone.

Yes, and I can legally keep you from having your small children operate heavy machinery on or around my property, because it imposes an unreasonable risk of damage or injury to me.

But you try to tell me the same thing on my property or at my business and I'll tell you to go shove it.

My point is made. My rights end where yours begin.
