This is not a "all regulations are bad or all regulations are good" argument. This is about an oxymoronic statement. I feel that you and previous commenter have trouble differentiating the two.
> regulations often help to make free markets more free.
No. They do not. That's nonsensical. The whole point of regulation is to exert control over something for better or for worse, depending on the situation. That's the exact opposite of freedom regardless of the consequences.
Your analogy is poor because it doesn't mirror the original quote. A better analogy that mirrored the original quote would be, "We need to murder people in order to save their lives." It makes about as much Orwellian sense as saying, "There's freedom in slavery."
