The whole issue of Apple vs. the FBI is one on which reasonable persons may disagree. Personally, I feel very strongly both ways.

It is interesting, however, to observe that many who feel strongly about 2nd amendment rights--not just for personal defense, but to protect us from an over-reaching government--are less concerned about other potential government overreach and possible loss of individual liberty.

Although it is probably not exactly analogous, I am reminded of Franklin's comment back in 1755: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

I realize that some are motivated more by a desire for justice than by concerns for safety, so perhaps the disconnect is understandable.
