ALMOST every study conducted in America says that guns save lives in millions of incidents, vs lives lost by guns in the thousands. SO, if a hundred lives are saved compared to one life lost in gun related crimes, then the whole debate is moot.

A very small number of them. Please, since you seem obsessed with my posts, provide me with ANY example of my promoting banning all guns. Please.
How many times are they used to save a life - do you men where the person shot was trying to kill them with a bat? or a Gun? I expect most cases of self defense with gun shooting an assailant, the assailant also had a gun. So, maybe if neither had a gun, the worst that would happen is a concussion by being beaten with a bat.
Ah, finally, you get to
your point, 19 children lives are an acceptable price to pay if guns can save lives too. I will be sure to let the parents know.
