    there are more slaves now than ever in history. there are more prisoners, more prisons, more cartels, more police (but i repeat myself). i won’t tell you how you may keep yourself safe. please return the courtesy.

      All of those things are because there are way more humans today than ever in absolute numbers. The percentage of people who die a violent death has never been as low as it is now, and that includes people dying in war.

          I’m not sure how it’s relevant to this discussion. Are you some kind of vigilante who needs a gun to free slaves?

            at this point i’m making due advocating that would-be slaves aren’t legally prohibited the tools they need to protect themselves.

              You seriously think that the cause of modern day slavery is lack of guns?

              Maybe you should call the UN and let them know you figured out the solution to the slavery problem.

                that’s not what i said. it’s a bad faith argument: a strawman.

                  Then what are you trying to say? I’m still not seeing how you bringing up slavery is at all relevant to the discussion.

                    it’s one of the very real dangers people face. and firearms are one of the tools they may use to defend themselves from it.
