    Clearly as a society we are willing to restrict freedoms in many ways for the sake of safety. We lock you away for certain crimes, we prevent you from driving a vehicle unless you pass certain tests and that can be taken away if you misuse it. The real question is what makes guns so special that we should short circuit all this reasoning and just say ‘no restrictions ever because freedoms’ regardless of the cost of that stance.

      That’s just a plain old strawman argument, because no one has said “no restrictions ever because freedoms” as you stated. We also clearly have a multitude of complex gun laws on the books in the USA that restrict those freedoms already. You should learn about those and how they work, and and how poorly they are enforced by the law enforcement staff of the USA.
