13. Yeah, let's give college students concealed carry permits -- that'll cut down on violence
Answer me this: let's say you're a cop who shows up to deal with an in-progress shooting like today, and every other person is running around campus with a glock in his hand. How do you decide who you're going to shoot at?

The teenage wish-fulfillment fantasy of taking out the bad guy Dirty Harry-style just doesn't happen in real life. The reality is that states with more guns have more gun deaths. Period. The NRA/Gun industry talking point that everyone needs to be armed is just crap.
