Why not? Do you not believe that people have the right to free association?

I agree it doesn’t count as slavery, but it’s still an infringement on people’s rights to free association and voluntary agreement.

I suppose I don’t understand why they shouldn’t be grouped together by the tool when firearms are common to each of those issues.

Traffic jams, double parking, and car bombs all make use of the same tool as well, but it would be asinine to put them all into the same bucket when they have entirely different causes.

Look at it this way, nobody is trying to put self harm via knife in the same category as some drug deal gone south involving a knife. So why is it reasonable to do the same when the tool is a gun? Both murder and suicide happen regardless of guns, and looking at statistics across places with more/less guns regarding murder, guns are an entirely irrelevant factor.

Analogically, it’s totally reasonable to construct houses by driving nails in with the backs of screwdrivers because a house gets built, the real intent.

Good choice for building? Meh. But “houses built” would certainly be a much better category than “things done with hammers”.

I live in one, and it sucks. Everything is crowded in, land is insanely expensive, and there’s nowhere to park. Being able to walk to a store is hardly worth the downsides.
