That stuff about "saving one child" infers that you as an individual are liable or responsible, violent because you have a firearm. My personal response is "Did my gun kill any kids? Then why do you insist on punishing me for that crime?" It's personal and we need to be seen as individuals, not statistics.
On the other hand, a few years back I got irritated at an acquaintance who noticed my NRA sticker on my car with a stuffy comment and I replied in an extremely sarcastic tone, "Yeah, I'm in the NRA. Feeling badly as I haven't killed my quota of kids today." Having the stupidity of her comment pushed in her face ended that conversation.
