Right, there's exactly a difference, but by agreeing that self defence is a reason to take a life, and doesn't invalidate a right to life in different situations we've already agreed that life can be taken in some situations and not others - and those don't have direct connections to each other.

You're right that the checkmate line wasn't entirely fair, and I did consider not including it, but it seems to entirely charaterise the bumper sticker politics that is the suggestion that it's somehow logically impossible to be both pro life, and pro death penalty. Because it's quite simply not.

And philosophically trivial here is refering to the fact that the distinctions existance is widely considered true and easily demonstrated - not anything relating to its value.

Easiest that comes to mind would be either rights are not inherent, merely granted by our participation in the social contract, and murder is the ultimate violation of that removing any protections owed to you or basic utilitarian argument that it discourages further murders (I mean it doesn't, but people love to argue the toss on that).

Couldn't you argue that a community also has a right to protect itself/its members, parallel with an individual being able to protect himself?
