This is not the point. I'm looking at the bigger picture. At its current form the US government attempts to take away individual liberties from its citizens. Guns are polarizing, but the same goes for the TSA/Security Theater, Online Privacy/Anonymity, and so on. What child pornography is for Internet censorship, terror threats for public security measures, are mass shootings for gun control. It is a strategy of spotlighting extremely rare exceptions in order to justify the reduction of individual liberties on a large scale. Therefore I am welcoming any attempts that balance the powergame - no matter how small they are. If you are going to develop an app that allows me encrypt all my mobile phone traffic you deserve the same level of applause as that guy who developed the gun.
