The Right to Self Defense is conferred upon man by His Creator imo
The State may affirm this right but it cannot confer...it may also take away this right if it can.

More specifically, I think, the right to life is the bedrock of our entire legal and social system, and if you can't protect yourself from those that want to relieve you of it, you have no right to life.

To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and the Acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the Government of the United States, and to exercise like Authority over all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislature of the State in which the Same shall be, for the Erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings;--And

One may be a citizen of a State, and not an U.S. citizen. Conversely, one may be a Federal Citizen, and have no State citizenship. (i.e. born on a military installation overseas)

An individual (currently) volunteers to place themself under the UCMJ, just as one runs for Federal office. As the Constitution does confer some privileges to elected officials:

They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.

they also (should) give up their right to bear arms when they voluntarily travel to D.C.; as do all who choose to live there.

In D.C. and other Federal areas; they make the rules and any rule they make is Constitutional. Federal citizens have only those rights confered by the Kongress. If you don't like it, move to Texas.
