    Fr, I’ve been looking into a tool (that is about to be banned in Canada) that lets you “hack” radio signals. It’s legal to buy and use on your own devices, I plan to use it on my car as after some research into my aftermarket lock I think I can. However if I use it to unlock someone else’s car and steal their stuff, that is illegal.

    Guns follows the same logic, yes, they can be used for crime; just like the f0 or the wifi pineapple, or the bashbunny, or rubberducky/badusb, but they can also be used for defense, like all those pentesting tools can legally be used for pentesting. It’s all in the person behind the item.

      This is the same crowd that will try to claim code is not a crime. Now, I agree with that statement, but at least I’m logically consistent and believe possession of a firearm should be perfectly legal.
