What about owning an assault rifle shooting range? I think those owners need assault rifles for things besides murder. I get your point but try not to be an abs

  In countries where assault rifles are banned, these things generally still are possible. With strict rules, for example you're only allowed to have your rifle and ammo at a shooting range, and psychological review of everyone involved. Besides all that, it very much is a hobby for people. Much less a need than encryption, which is required to keep simple things like ordering something online secure.

  You don't _need_ to own an assault rifle shooting range. So you don't _need_ assault rifles. We _need_ encryption to have functioning society. Everyone needs to be able to visit their bank website, email, etc without being robbed, stalked, spied on. I am okay with being an absolutist about civilians not needing assault rifles. If we're talking about self defense and hand guns, maybe we can have a conversation, but omg what is anyone doing with an AR-15? You can say "having fun" but pretty sure anyone who's being fair would admit that's way past what anyone needs for self defense. Having one very specific sort of fun is not a need or a good justification for the damage these things do to the net safety of our society.
