Pond, I have friends and family who are so committed to the idea that government can, and should be responsible for taking care of us that the idea of an armed society is completely unthinkable. These are not stupid people, but their ideology can not accept that freedom from governmental interference in our personal lives is fundamental to freedom. They are educated, intelligent people who foolishly believe that they know what is best for you and me. All we can do is present our case, and hope that like you and me, they will realize that what they think they know just isn't so.
