Brian wasn't replying to you, and I'm not sure how that happened. I was trying to quote him though and not you.

The worst you are getting from me are blunt words, I think you have your priorities out of whack, that man murdered by his wife I posted, and the 98 people who die every day on average, as well as the victims of Newtown who cannot speak now, they have it far worse than you do and so do the family members whom survive them. I could care less if you think my word choice is "acting like a child", you sound like the Pope who said "If you pick on religion you should expect to be punched"......
I could care less what you think of my word choice. We have a gun violence epidemic and all I get from your side is "shoot more and sell more". Nope sorry, if the status quo was working nobody would be bitching. I think the victims and their families are far more important than getting your bad logic attacked or your feelings hurt.
Actually Brian it was the wife that killed the husband. Dollars to doughnuts says she didn't kill him with a machine gun or a semi automatic rifle. She probably didn't even use a Glock with a 30 round magazine. She probably used a small handgun that only holds 6 or 7 rounds. The kind of gun that you have said in the past is the only type of handgun that should be legal for the public to buy.
Where did I claim she killed him with a machine gun, this is about firearm deaths to me from all types.
Nobody needs war weapons but machine gun or hand gun, my point was my bet is that this death was the result of a legally purchased firearm.
Outside firearm suicide domestic murder is again, both are far more likely to happen in the home than a successful stranger on stranger conflict in self defense.
Again, none of what I said is calling for all out bans on every single type. I am simply pointing out that most "legal at time of buy" no matter the type, want to think about what is more likely going into that use of a firearm.
Outside that, no, nobody needs war riffles, and nobody needs big clips riffle or handgun.
98 people a day die from picking up and pulling the trigger on a firearm, and most of the time the injured or dead are someone the user is familiar with, if not themselves.
I am on your side here buddy. I think you understand this better than many being a firearm owner yourself. Again, if enough people had your attitude I doubt we would have the amount of firearm deaths we do. The way you talk you seem to take use of a firearm very seriously. I am not confident that the 36,000,000 who die per year had that same attitude going into use of a firearm before hand. I am sure most of those who die had tons of good intent.
Newtown happened with a machine gun, VA Tech happened with hand guns, I see lack of good vetting and ease of access as a huge part of the problem, in the case of this lady murdering her husband I am also sure long before this happened nobody in their family thought it would happen, much less the victim.
