You missed the point. Widespread gun ownership among non-criminals has side effects that harm innocents. Not the case with encryption.
You could argue it makes it easier for people to become criminals, but even that is a weak comparison. Guns are a lot harder to come by in the UK (for example) than encryption software would be in a more regulated world.
- woodman 11y agoYou hid the point pretty well then, because those who engage in "domestic violence" and "fights that escalate into _blank_" are certainly not "non-criminals". So that leaves only accidents: Widespread $PHYSICALOBJECT ownership among non-criminals has side effects that harm innocents. Not the case with $VIRTUALOBJECT. You know that regardless of what you use for $PHYSICALOBJECT or $VIRTUALOBJECT that statement will be true right? You also did not state exclusivity among non-criminals, is that because you know that is impossible? If that is the case then you've hidden the point very well.
