Also, humans are irresponsible, irrational, emotional creatures. Government is neccessary in matters of handing out killing machines. There is no amount of idealism you can profess that can change anyone's mind in the face of so much irresponsible and sad behavior by humans, aided by guns. So to that, I say more intervention is needed.

(Apr 16 05, 22:11)Very well said, Fate.
it must also be added that most other 'tools' require a LOT more effort and guts (and power) to use then a gun.
If the man was very emotional about it (and he must be cuz he shot himself afterwards) a gun was the most easy certain way of killing his own wife and kids. there is a huge difference in hitting your child on the head with a baseball bat (not too mention the wife could have tried to fight that) then shooting them through the heads or bodies..
the comparison you made isn't very strong.
people are unpredictable creatures, give them killing machines and they will use it at one point.
guns should be banned. period.
(and i am glad they are super-illegal here for that matter..)
