Of course. Once you’ve accepted (or I should say, once you’ve been duped into accepting) the premise that violence is the guns’ and the NRA’s fault, anything and everything you see in that regard will reinforce your position.
It’s extremely simple. The dupe can be exposed to every manner of obvious proof and reason, but so long as the accepted false premise is the measure by which all information is processed, the truth will never reach him. The dupe has been vaccinated against the truth, with that little inoculation of an emotion-based lie. So long as the dupe’s emotions are nurtured, he will be impervious to reality.
See how that works? It’s deliciously evil, and it’s so simple no one ever notices.
