Exactly, yet the second amendment people are silent whenever one of their representatives calls for forced backdoors.
- big_chungus 7y agoI am a staunch defender of the second amendment, to the point where I want the NFA repealed. I abhor backdoors in devices with equal vigor; the government has no business in my life on either front.
- TallGuyShort 7y agoRepublican Party? Mostly, but that's par for the course - they're the same way with family values as well, until Newt Gingrich or Donald Trump want to run for office. Libertarian Party and Constitution Party will be more consistent here.
- CWuestefeld 7y agoI also stand with sibling post from big_chungus. I'm a staunch supporter of both self-defense rights and of the ability to protect one's privacy.
- opwieurposiu 7y agoSilent or noisy, makes no difference. Agents of the state yield only to force. Words are not an effective strategy. The state itself is a parasite that feeds on the blood of the people. Speaking to an agent of the state is about as useful as asking a mosquito not to bite you.
- LyndsySimon 7y agoThis is absolutely not my experience. ETA - as evidence, this exact argument on the largest gun forum on the Net: https://www.ar15.com/forums/general/Senior-officials-considering-end-to-end-encryption-ban/5-2234430/ https://www.ar15.com/forums/general/Senior-officials-conside...
- t-writescode 7y agoOh stop it. The 2A supporters I know are strongly opposed to encryption backdoors, too. I should know, I’m one of them. And I’m plenty loud.
- rayiner 7y agoBecause the idea of encryption as “arms” is ridiculous. Just because it’s used in warfare doesn’t make it “arms” protected by the Second Amendment. Food and fuel are used in warfare too.
