Having one's logic completely clouded by a belief system doesn't make one stupid, it just makes one a "true believer". Life doesn't work that way. To pick a plan that achieves a goal you need to shed your blind belief. My family helped a friend in need for a stretch and, when times improved, my wife suggested the idea of saving money for a 'rainy day' and stockpiling both human and kitty food. The response was "God will always take care of me." My response was "Then why look for a job; why work? Just go to your door; say a prayer, holding your wallet up to the sky and yell, "Fill 'er up."
The kind of answers I see from the 'true believer' group convince me that they've stumbled across the words of someone they find trustable and accept them even in the face of logic and reason. My wife has friend who thinks most people shouldn't have guns. Her friend says things like, "The government needs to come and 'sweep the streets' for guns." She's never forthcoming with any descriptions of how that could be plausible.
There are also many politicians who actually espouse disarming a variety of people from the general public.
Then there are those politicians who will say what appeals to the 'true believers' just to get their votes. They either know confiscation will never really happen and their words are just posturing or they simply don't even care.
I believe there are some REAL control advocates but the others often cloud the issue.
