When should the government take away a freedom?
Number one: The government should never take away freedom even if that means living with the consequences.
Number two: The government should only take away freedom when it allows someone to hurt someone else such as in cases like: murder, theft, or ràpe.
Number three: The government should take away freedom when it allows someone to hurt someone else AND/OR themselves such as in cases like: suicide or drug intoxication.

When the consequences of doing so benefit society to a greater degree than allowing the 'freedom'.

Once upon a time, the government ruled that a farmer couldn't grow his own grains to feed his cattle because it disrupted the businesses of the grain industry which profited from selling grain to ranchers as feed.

I'd say the 2nd option, but only to a specific point. I don't think people should be allowed to own something like White Phosphorus, but you should be able to own something like a firearm.
