how many kids remain with us because Mommy or Daddy – or in some cases a child – used a gun to defend the household?

OK, I give up. How many? (And please cite your source.)

According to the Department of Justice, Americans use guns for defensive purposes 1.5 million times a year.

What is the specific source for this statement and how many of the 1.5 million incidents involved the defense of a child?

He already gave you the source. If you care to look it up, go to www.guncite.com and read the text.

A better question is, what is your purpose?

US Department of Justice during the Clinton years. They probably weren't interested in the safety of the "chillllren" if mom and dad were doing the protecting.

You come across as a leftist gun grabber. If you were just incoherent, please repost with different verbage.
