13. I don't mind people owning firearms
I just don't think idiots should own them... Not sure how to successfully regulate it though.

There are lots of things that most people can handle just fine, but that idiots tend to cause lots of messes with. For example, most of us can drive just fine, but we get some idiots who insist on drinking and driving or texting and driving or just being a general asshat while driving. We don't try to prevent everyone from owning a car. And yes, I think a car can be just as, if not more dangerous than a person with a gun. Imagine some angry person driving their car through a crowded mall.
