Replacing "vulnerabilities" with "firearms" while retaining the same argument structure does not mean that both arguments are logically identical (a false equivalency). The implications of a free market for information security and a free market for firearms are totally different.

Analogies rarely, if ever, imply a total equivalence between the things being compared. That's what makes them analogies, not formal deductive proofs.
