Try to halt violence by restricting gun ownership and you won't halt
violence. But you will create entire classes of new criminals – people
who make paperwork errors, violate technical specification of the law,
or rebel against the new restrictions. And you'll create new bureaus,
new enforcement arms, new prisons to punish them. You'll make hordes of
lawyers and bureaucrats very happy. Organized criminals will be grateful
to the naive moral crusaders ("useful idiots") as they profit by
selling an illegal product. And ordinary street criminals will bless
fools, legislators, and "leaders" for making their job so much safer.
~ JPFO's "Bill of Rights Sentinel", Fall 2001
URGENT CALL TO REPENTANCE: All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the Lord. And all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before Thee. For the Kingdom is the Lord’s and He rules among the nations. (Psalm 22:27-28)

Interesting the phrase 'useful idiots' is used.
That's what Lenin called passionate college students, full of verve, but not so much intellect.
I suspect JPFO is not unfamiliar with this use.

gfa - I'm quite certain they referenced it on purpose ... and quite accurately, too.
