Earlier quoted context omitted.
>This is like saying laws against slavery restrict freedom (freedom to own slaves). They do. Because at current, corporations (aka private prisons) are allowed to own slaves, but I as an individual am not. We can either increase freedom by banning anyone from owning slaves or increase freedom by allowing anyone to own slaves.
Actually, allowing anyone to own slaves is not an increase in freedoms, it's a net decrease in freedom.
As long as the number of current slaves does not increase (anymore than it would have anyways), it would lead to more freedom.
