How much freedom should people have then, with regards to weaponry?
handguns? rifles? machine guns? grenade launchers? where is the line, what does the government have the right to say people cannot have?
And freedom is not a simple construct, the freedom of some people creates the unfreedom of others (ie if I am free to do what I want, you would not be free to own a gun)... the goal is surely safety, security, and a society that people can pursue happiness.
