I found statistics that there are 10 lives saved for every life lost through accidental death, suicide, or homicide with a gun.

At 10 lives saved for every one of your hundreds of children killed, that means that we are saving THOUSANDS of lives by people having ready access to their guns.
Now if the OP has some statistics showing deaths versus length of time to access a gun, those might be relevant. Just because he hasn't seen any or knows of anyone that has been affected is pretty lame.
By the way, gambjoe, did you see the statistics on deaths and fatalities in the oil industry in post #77? Might want to reconsider your claim on the effectiveness of that "zero tolerance" policy. It's kind of like claiming that Washington, DC is the safest city in the US because of their gun policies. Not much challenge to blow either one of those claims completely out of the water.
