But note how the encryption ban comes about after the firearm ban in the country of discussion.
Firearms rights (at least in the US) were intended as protection from tyrannical governments more so than even self protection. Though I acknowledge that today the US government is too powerful for citizens with firearms to prevent any tyranny.

That is, it can offer you protection from a tyrannical government in addition to protecting your information from criminals.
- reedjosh 6y agoI do agree with you. I'm just pointing out that both are intended as rights of a sovereign individual to protect oneself from both other individuals and government.
