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

    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.

          That’s an extremely simplistic view of a very complicated problem.

              It’s true though.

              There are many forms of modern day slavery and the vast majority is not due to an inability of the enslaved people to exert violence onto their slavers.

                  No it doesn’t. All it will do is get them into an even shittier situation.

                  Take for example debt bondage in India. Give a person in debt bondage a gun, what should they do with it, according to you?
