There are cases where people have won lawsuits because they spilled coffee on themselves too. The statistically deviant cases do not indicate that you will stay out of jail.

Now, in some states in this country, what you say would hold true, but these are some of the worst states when it concerns crime anyway because they do everything possible to keep their citizens from carrying.

Wisconsin lets you carry guns all you want. Hell, it's legal for blind people to hunt there. But there are places in Milwaukee that I wouldn't want to go into during the day.

Your trouble here is that the bible loves to contradict itself.
"“Seek peace, and pursue it. (Proverbs 34:14)”"
Not good enough. Point us to real stats.
Statistics compiled by a pro gun group are by nature going to paint guns in a favorable light. You need a balanced analysis from a neutral group.

If there is another way to stop criminals from having guns, other than locking them away for life, I'd love to hear it. So far, no law ever written has accomplished this feat.

Again, if I legally own a gun and a criminal steals it from me, that's another gun in the hands of a criminal. If I can't legally own an assault rifle, then I can't be the conduit through which the criminal gets ahold of it.
