Given the murder rate, mass shooting rate, incarceration per capita and domestic violence involving firearms in the US ... I'm not sure drawing that parallel is as convincing an argument for safeguarding encryption as you think.

- _-david-_ 4y agoIt is a perfect example. Guns are sometimes used for bad things just like encryption. Encryption, just like guns, are a right regardless.
- sirsinsalot 4y agoMy point is, guns are not a good example of "bad things happen rarely when people have things capable or badness"
- seanw444 4y agoThat wasn't the point anyways. Bad things happen a lot regardless of if the tools are available. The point is that you should be able to stop it with equal capability, not be intentionally handicapped.
- sirsinsalot 4y agoFor the avoidance of doubt, my point isn't that the parallel drawn is poor ... just that if we're selling the idea of "good outweighs the potential bad" then guns are not a good example for selling that angle.
