'Definition' in which dictionary? What of murder and manslughter? These have 'technical' legalistic definitions and the use of homicide is hyperbolic and misleadingly precise. It is typical anti-gun hysteria.

Webster's unabridged. Homicide: "the killing of one human being by another." Latin roots, Homo- (man) and -cide (kill).
I think "manslughter" would be when a man slugs his daughter? Or maybe the opposite, daughter slugs man.
