...but I think that there are a very few who refuse to educate themselves about the matter because they honestly believe that just having information on the subject will somehow "infect" them.

Others, of course, are simply too lazy to inform themselves on the subject -- they accept what they have been told by those they choose to believe.

Yet others don't want their belief system damaged, so they avoid any outside information that may not conform with their already-held beliefs.

And, even yet others who have educated themselves on the subject. Some of these know that their stance is unsupportable, but will not admit it because it would infringe on their true agenda -- control. Not of guns, of people.

And, of course, there are those who have educated themselves on the subject and, because of that, are no longer anti-rights people. They learn the reality of the situation and become gun-rights supporters (the same applies to many other rights, in my opinion).
