You can't murder a room full of children with pgp.
Say that again after you sit the same IT exams as I did.
Not with that kind of attitude!
I already have a chainsaw for that kind of thing, that does this have to do with guns and encryption?
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.
Privacy and guns can be used for defense. Beards generally don't affect that (though Alexander was of a different opinion and made his soldiers shave so that they couldn't be grabbed by the beard ; I think same was the reasoning for Roman soldiers shaving their beards and other hair).

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".
I've already described specifically how they are similar, it might dawn on you that repetition doesn't strengthen an argument. Not hopeful though.
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.
They are both intended for defense.
I think it's safe to say guns are an offensive weapon
