It's uncomfortable for people to think that the government might not have their best interests in mind. A lot of people have gone their entire lives believing MSM and thinking the government only wanted what was right for them. To step outside of their bubble and realize the truth is very hard. I think it's kind of like a "Matrix moment". You either take the pill that let's you see the truth (as clearly as possible), or take the pill that let's you stay in the warm, comfortable dream. I think a lot of people would rather stay in the dream than face reality.Too afraid to even think of the issues you raise. Just keeping their heads in the sand. Kind of like these people that Denny describes but it really applies to their whole lives. They have relinquished all of their lives to a third party…
Note that this is sheep in general, not specifically the anti-2A sheep which Denny speaks of.
