Yeah, that's the point. What do guns have to do with encryption? I could say "If you outlaw beards, only outlaws will have beards" and it will make as much sense as your original post. I appreciate that you have a weird fetish for violence but you don't have to shoe-horn it into every conversation.
You can’t murder a room full of children with pgp.
I'll just say it again in the hope that it might dawn on you that the two things are not even remotely similar enough that you can say "this also works for guns".
What? That they can both be used for defense? Name something that couldn't ever be used for defense. Your comparison is pointless because the only trait they share is one which is also shared by pretty much everything else on the planet. Like beards, to bring up an earlier example.
This is in the UK. I used to get around in a 3 wheeled Reliant Robin just fine, even in the snow. You don't need one of these unless you are a farmer, and then you would buy an old Land Rover.
I can't be bothered to read the article. Is it because capitalism is funneling all the money into the hands of the ultra rich, making everyone else poorer, but the ultra rich own the media and government, so they fool people into thinking that it's the immigrants who are taking their money, thereby getting the two poorest groups fighting each other rather than joining together and attacking the people who actually have all their money and choose to enrich themselves to obscene lengths to the detrement of literally everyone else on the planet?
My family immigrated to the UK from Poland when I was six. I'm 20 now, speak much better English than Polish and feel like this is my land/culture. However I have a Polish first and last name, Polish passport and "unique" accent everyone picks up on, so despite this I'm usually perceived as an outsider. It makes me really sad...
You seem like a decent thoughtful person, and I would rather have you as a fellow Brit than the knobheads that throw conkers at you.
Defining a person by their nationality is pretty stupid when you consider that we are all on the same rock hurtling through the unfathomable depths of space. My grandad always had to know where a person was from in order to put them into a specific box in his mind. I always found it utterly disgusting and just weird. I guess there will always be people like that, but it's learned behaviour. Kids don't care where someone is from until they are told it's important by an idiot adult.
I'm waffling now, but it genuinely doesn't matter where you are from. One of the few things that makes me proud to be British is the fact that we are a big melting pot of different cultures. We are enhanced by having British people with different heritages. I don't know if you are planning on applying for British nationality, but I would be delighted if you did. I, and a huge majority of Brits would welcome you with open arms, while the bigots amongst us can fuck off and go and be miserable in their own nasty little corner.

There is work going on making actual electric jets. They use plasma to expand the compressed gas in the same way conventional jets use fuel. Very early days though.
