You really do embarrass yourself.

Trading in slaves was banned. So was trading in cocaine. So was trading in automatic weapons. A free market means unfettered trade in legal items. it does not imply that one may trade in anything one chooses.

By definition it is the government who decides what is legal. If free market means trade in legal items then you ALWAYS have free market. You've been hoisted by your own petard !!!
