### No. If you don't commit violence, nobody has a legitimate claim to
use violence against you. Whatever you have, you can keep and use as
you see fit, and nobody has the right to use violence against you in
your own domain. So the moral is "The innocent get to do anything they
want with all they have".

Do you notice that the interpretation you mentioned in your question
is almost the polar opposite of the meaning I intended?
