It's easy to tell a man that his chosen tool for defense will not work because the argument has the flavor of a technological discussion. After all people have all sorts of opinions on whether a given instrument will achieve its intended purpose. As an example a great many women have been dissuaded from carrying a handgun for self defense by the argument that a mugger or a rapist would simply disarm them. Such an argument might even work well enough on an uninitiated person to be accepted as well meaning advice. It's much harder and plays less well to tell a person that he has no right to live if a random stranger should choose otherwise.
