>the laissez faire regulation of killer devices in the US is, in my view, a huge infringement on freedom

That is some professionally constructed doublespeak. Orwell would be impressed!

How??? Everything in that sentence is true. The US has a laissez faire regulation of killing devices/guns/assualt weapons. And my view is that it's an infringement on my freedom (since I have to factor in a greater risk of getting killed when being in public spaces in the US). Please provide some evidence that those two facts are false.

So by your logic, any place where you're not locked up in a padded room, protected by armed guards is an infringement on your freedom because you have a greater chance of being killed.

Listen, you can be opposed to supposedly "laissez faire regulation" of guns because of your ideological persuasion, but stop lying about it being an infringement on your freedom.
