You got Windows XP? I had a fucking amber text WYSE TERMINAL in 2007. That they're probably still using.
Do you think you could shoot your own child if he attacked you?

You beat the fuck out of your wife and went to jail. When you get out, you decide you want a firearm, but it's now illegal for you to purchase one, and even being in possession of one will put you back in jail, and you can't just go buy one at the store because you'll fail the background check and possibly have the police come and put you in jail for trying.
Please tell me one consumer good more highly regulated than firearms.
Right. I imagine most of those rifles and handguns were used to kill more than one person each. So the amount of handguns/rifles actually involved in murder becomes even smaller.
With 12,664 total murders in 2011 (Down about 500 from 2010, mind you), 323 is pretty insignificant, yes. Add in all the other ways people died 'before their time' in 2011 and 323 is nothing.

In 2011 there were 323 murders committed with all types of rifles. In that same year, there were 6,220 committed with handguns. Yet there is an insane push to outlaw the firearm which is statistically insignificant in the grand scheme of crime.
