the point of self defence is that its a natural right and nobody should be able to legislate how and when you're "allowed" to defend yourself or what tools you're allowed to utilise in this endeavour. if the state does just that, and restricts your means to protect yourself, that means you're enslaved because essentially you're having the right to self-determination particularly in regards to your immediate safety when facing aggressors revoked. they're saying "no, you can't take care of yourself, you have to rely on us or just allow yourself to be victimised" which is you being stuck between two different forms of victimhood and oppression
