If a person does not defend themself against an unprovoked attacker and that attacker is able to gain from that undefend attack does not that lack of defense encourage future attacks by the agressor? It seems that there is a moral duty to resist.

I just love people that use Luke 22: 36 as a reference ....Guess they are too lazy to read the next verse....
"And he was reckoned among the transgressors:
But lets just ignore that line...okay?

Christ did not intend this to be taken literally. It was hyperbole.
The context affirms such. In that same context he said cut off your hands and pluck out your eyes if you sin. We all sin (Rom. 3). If literal, Christianity would be full of blind cripples. Yet the body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, and we are not to harm that temple.
To prove that Jesus was speaking in exaggerated tones, cf his response to being slapped. (John 18:22) Jesus objected to being slapped, proving that Mt. 5:39 was figurative.
To further prove Jesus was employing hyperbole, cf Paul's response to being slapped. (Acts 23:3) Paul objected.
Jesus was teaching that we are to do all we can to live in peace. "If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men." (Rom 12:18)
But it is not always possible to live in peace. If an aggressor attacks our children, are we supposed to do the pseudo-Christian thing, and let the enemy have his way with our children? Or are we to do the godly thing, and take care of our family?
Common sense tells us we provide safety for our family.
"But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel." (1 Tim 5:8)

Morality demands that we stand against evil, against which an armed populace is good insurance.

Although a good article Lew Rockwell always has to take 100 words to say something that could be said in 10.

Jesus said... "sell your armani jacket and buy a sig sauer..."
actually he said, "sell your cloak and buy a sword..." but translated to this century... it is the same line of reasoning.
