Guns and encryption aren't fungible in that sentence.

No one's ever been injured or killed by accidental application of encryption, but thousands of people are injured or killed by accidental gunfire every year.

I was responding to a comment regarding accidental deaths and injuries, not suicide or murder. If this is insufficiently interesting to you, I suggest you read another comment.
