The US has gone F&*%ing mad
It&#x27;s surprising to me that so many pro-crypto people are so stridently anti-gun.<p>The arguments in favor of restricting or banning the two technologies appear (to me) very similar.  There exists a technology that, in the hands of a law-abiding person, can be used for legitimate purposes, including protecting oneself from aggression.  But in the wrong hands, the same tech can be used for great harm.  The logic in favor of restrictions goes like this: Most law-abiding people don&#x27;t actually require this form of protection, so we should restrict access to prevent a malicious person from causing harm.<p>Therefore it&#x27;s not surprising to me that 51% of Americans in a recent poll are siding with the FBI over Apple.  Many of those same Americans are probably in favor of the assault weapons ban, etc, too.
