The bolded part is not true at all. Several gun laws were written with EXACTLY that cliche in mind. The waiting period law, the NICS check, the safe storage laws.....all written with the 'if it saves one life, it's worth it' mantra. Statistically, they can't be shown with any certainty whether it has saved any lives or not.
