Trump travel ban

May we draw parallels between gun and radical ideology: they both may do harm to people.

One of the arguments put by pro gun rights group is that guns don’t kill people, but people kill people. Applying the same logic, they must believe that radical ideology don’t kill people, but people kill people.

Since Trump is pro gun rights, his move in banning ‘dangerous’ people from entering US soil is consistent with his gun rights stance. He does not ban the radical ideology, he bans the people. After all, it’s the (‘dangerous’) people that kill the Americans.

If we extend this logic further, pro gun-control government would try to prevent the radical ideology from spreading. They would not ban people from entering their country but anyone residing in the country will need 'security-clearance' if they want to access radical ideology.

Am I right?
