As Ruth has said there are very few freedoms that are absolute.

What's a "freedom"?

A Right?

Or a Privilege?

Whatever the government says it is at any point in time. Better have a gun the way this sounds.

Freedom would include both rights and privileges.

There are inalienable rights to life, liberty, and property which are inherent in being a living person, and there are also privileges, such as the freedom to operate a motor vehicle on public highways or perform surgery on someone, which government may regulate.

They are all freedoms.
