I say yes because:

Burqas should be banned for safety reasons. People should be able to know who they are interacting with so they can behave accordingly.

The women who choose to wear burqas are influenced by the norms of their culture and religion, just as all of our clothing choices are. A woman is not going to choose to wear something that nobody else ever wears! If burqas are banned, and nobody else is ever wearing them in public, eventually they will no longer be a desired choice among those who currently use them.

We all have restrictions on what we can do or wear in public. Some people would prefer to be naked in public, but it is not acceptable in our society. People are still free to do what they'd like in private.
