I don't think it's a 2nd amendment issue, per se. But it's very similar. If you're afraid of your freedom to stand up against a tyrannical government being taken away, you should be especially afraid of your right to talk freely about those issues being taken away. That's what the NRA people should be thinking about.
- pqh 9y agoI mean, I'm in favor of gun control for practical, statistical reasons. I want less gun violence, if we can manage to implement some means of accomplishing that. Hard problem, I know. But I understand the intent of the second amendment. It's not to allow hunting. It's not to allow you to protect your home from robbers. It's definitely a statement of defiance to tyrannical government. So if the NRA doesn't agree to some similar line of thought on encryption, they're hypocrites.
