1. True enough, but
You can really get caught up in the details. For example, some people would use your "individual rights" concept to argue against income and other taxes. I don't think it applies there, but the argument can be made that just about any collective endeavor (including taxes and the things they pay for) goes against the grain of the individual rights.

Mind you, I don't think YOU are saying that, at least you didn't in your post, but the idea can be taken to an extreme that I am uncomfortable with. Extremist Libertarians do not appeal to me.
