My opinion on gun ownership is simple; the average person is too irresponsible and too stupid to be allowed to own something as dangerous as a gun.

Couldn't the same be said of owning something as dangerous as a car? What about having children? Seems like any idiot can get behind the wheel of a 2 ton killing machine or fail to properly raise a batch of future welfare cases.

The average people you deem too stupid to own a gun, probably don't point that gun at random people or fire it blindly into a crowd. But there sure are a lot of stupid people who cause car accidents and kill thousands on the road. The people committing violent crimes with guns aren't average stupid citizens. They are criminals and criminals don't abide by the law, not even laws banning guns.
