[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It would really help my soul to see some reasonable gun enthusiasts weigh in.  I wish they demanded accountability in weapon use as thoroughly as they demand exacting terminology.[/quote]

Well, I'm a gun "moderate", and I've tried.  I don't own a gun, but enjoy shooting (last time was about three years ago).  I also have family/friends who [i]are[/i] gun people and rely upon hunting for food and utilize guns for home defense.

I'm in favor of a number of additional restrictions on firearm ownership/use and have articulated those throughout the discussion, as have a number of others.  I've also agreed with others' proposals.

It's hard to have this discussion, though, when people are suggesting regulations that (a) demonstrate a complete lack of knowledge of firearms, and (b) therefore, would not succeed in making people safer.  This isn't an attempt to play games with terminology--it's an attempt to clarify basic facts that everyone should know (and think about) before opining about solutions.  Uninformed, hysterical opinions aren't going to advance the cause.
