> the freedom of punching that asshole in the face, metaphorically speaking.

This is not at all a freedom in the US. “The right to swing your fist ends at someone else’s nose.” You don’t get to harm someone else just for being “an asshole”. You can be an asshole back but you don’t get to violate their rights.

Do you understand what "metaphorically speaking" means?

Yes. Your metaphor implied actual harm, like a punch causes. Did you not understand your own metaphor?
