Yes, because these people are the ones who think bad things only happen to bad people and that if your rights are abused you must have deserved it somehow. Because they believe bad things only happen to bad people, and they're so convinced that they're a good person, they don't care if other people suffer, because they themselves are unaffected.
They're unable to empathise with other people and most fall into the category of either 'sociopath' or 'narcisisst'.
It's basically the same story with every person I know that ended up buying a gun this year, and I live in a very blue area. Their business got its windows smashed, someone broke into/stole their car, and a few in the cities had stuff go down right outside their apartments.
Most of them asked me to go with them to buy one and I had to handhold them through the laws. Once they realized that criminals basically just make/steal guns, law-abiding have to jump through hoops, and police were being gutted, I definitely saw naivety leave some of their eyes.
It's nice when you see people realise at least some of this stuff.
Whenever we have a truck of peace roll through a market, we always have some special people demand that all trucks/vans should be registered and traceable. They don't want to hear that they already are.
Or the best one was seeing someone demand that anyone who drives a truck should be registered on a list. Then were told about drivers licenses.
It would be funny if these people were kids, the fact that most are in their 20-30s just makes it really sad.

Until it happens to them.
