It's not illegal to yell "fire" in a crowded theater. Me busting your balls aside, your point about freedoms not being pure or unrestricted is still true. If Germany's constitution allows for a selected ban on burqas then they are well within their right to do this. What Matt said aligns with a BBC article I read (Sorry Breitbart, I'm #TeamKelloggs). Very few wear one and this is more of a pandering move for her to prevent a loss in the next elections.

I can see the argument for banning burqas or niqabs, and the same argument would go with a ski mask. I see an issue with someone suggesting a hijab ban and I wouldn't understand the reasoning for that ban.

I don't know how this fights back against violence, though.
