Point taken.  But if encryption software can be Governed as a Weapon
for trade purposes, for example Export Licensing, why wouldn’t it
qualify for ”safe harbour” under the 2nd Amendment?

Again, I’m just a simple, ignorant, Canuck Canadian with no real
business in meddling with your affairs, unless it comes down to
your trying to invade us again.

Always remember: never make a Canadian angry:
You may not live to regret it. :)
