I thought it was interesting that someone in a previous thread pointed out the parallels between encryption and firearm regulation. They presented it as a point in favor of gun ownership, but it made me take a step back and look at it the other way. My opinions haven't changed, but I'm a little more wary of the rhetoric being thrown around.

They presented it as a point in favor of gun ownership, but it made me take a step back and look at it the other way. Instead of reading it as something negative about encryption, you can think it as a positive. In the sense, that the argument shows that encryption has all the "freedom", "individual rights" etc benefits touted for gun ownership, but without the bloodshed that is associated with guns.
