If you make encryption illegal, only criminals will use encryption!
As far as I know killing people is illegal, hasn't stopped some to do it nevertheless. And it won't help protect the infamous "the children" either.
that's a bad metaphor, because killing beeing illegal actually stops a lot of killing, but also killing is usually actually considered a bad thing while encryption is not.
making encryption illegal is like saying "we don't want anybody to enjoy this good thing, because it's also good for criminals" while with killing, not enjoying it is what non-criminals would have done anyway.
