You are freely entitled to your opinion, though it is not one I share. I will gladly sacrifice your life for my property, as my property represents slivers of my life spent acquiring it. You however can completely avoid that situation by refraining from any attempt to take my property.

Don't worry, I don't want to take your property.
I think you're missing the point.  You're considering Locke from a modern perspective.  Locke's ideal government is born out of a hypothetical state of nature where no one is sure who owns what.  As the government gains legitimacy, the line between "yours" and "ours" becomes more distinct. But it doesn't do these things for its own sake.  It does these things to prevent conflicts and loss of life between people who believe they each own the same thing.
My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.
