Of course Moses wouldn't have had to get all Medieval on the Egyptians if the Egyptians wouldn't have enslaved the Jews, right? How did the Egyptians enslave the Jews?

First thing the Egyptians did was to outlaw the ownership of swords by the Jews.
The second thing the Egyptians did was kill all the Jewish blacksmiths so they couldn't make any more swords.

History is full of such examples, to a lesser extent hitler had some forms of gun control but not as touted by pro gun folks in recent years.

History repeats itself too...Have you watched the new RED DAWN movie? It might seem Hoakey in some parts, But when They dropped the paratroops into that town, it sent chilled shivvers down my spine..Our worst nightmare, Hillary, Kerry, and many other Buds, signing
us into NATO servitude..
