Individual experience influences what we come to value.

The client who has picketed for gun control and who was gun-shot is unlikely to value firearms in our society. The individual who has actively picketed for gun control is unlikely to desire the use of guns. The individual would be more likely to believe that if there were gun control, there would be no need for guns.
