Knowing full well what will happen, I give a gun to one man which he
uses to shoot game to provide food for his family. He takes a good gift
and uses it wisely.

Again, knowing full well what will happen, I give a gun to another man
who uses it to shoot his wife and children.

You miss the point. Why bother with believing when the same result can
be obtained by keeping the Law?
