Worth reminding that the slippery slope argument is not a valid argument at all.
As with standard slippery slope reasoning, you jump to the most extreme interpretation. Yet reality shows us that you cannot, in fact, boil a frog, because at some point it just gets too fucking hot.
Should car manufacturers be liable for drunk drivers? Maybe, if they include a space in their vehicle specifically to store and serve alcohol.
Should kitchen knife manufacturers be responsible for stabbings? No. But no reasonable person would ever suggest they should. I might remind you also that “reasonable standard” is a legal concept.
