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.

Just enjoying a civil conversation with an intelligent person, NOT "obsessed."
I don't believe I indicated that you wished to ban all guns, did I? If so, my mistake.
No, I do not believe that 19 children's' lives justify gun ownership, and I don't believe that I suggested that, did I? But, please DO give them my condolences since you plan on contacting them. Thank you.
Not sure where you get the idea that "the worst that would happen is a concussion by being beaten by a bat." I guess that unlike me, you may not have law enforcement experience and know that a bat or club has been the cause of many murders. I believe that death trumps concussion, right? Personally, if someone came at me with a bat, I too would use lethal force to protect myself. I am not as young as I used to be and not quite up to fighting bare hands against a bat wielding assailant. Fortunately, the law allows for self defense, still.
