The necessity of the government is absolute.
The prevention it offers is real and significant but admittedly not absolute.
If we had no government, individuals would hurt each other with impunity and regularity.
Because we have an Effective Government this happens much more rarely and is punished when it happens.

What do you think Freedom means? Should you and I be free to murder and rape and Rob others if we want to?

The power to act, speak, or think as one wishes without restraint. That's the definition, and it carries no moral connotation. So yes, freedom means raping, killing, stealing, because freedom is the freedom to choose actions that are morally good and morally evil. We use government to restrain that freedom, it's necessary to do so to produce a civil society. Government by nature of its very existence restrains some freedom, in every case, always.
