I know of many people that have had guns stolen, and I know of several that have been accidentally killed by legal guns. I don't know anyone that has successfully used a gun in self defense.

I have been trying to find metrics on similar questions on gun deaths (not just crimes) and was not successful. Admittedly a central tenant to my beliefs is that law abiding citizens (and not mentally unstable) and their guns do not cause a lot of gun deaths compared to criminals and suicides (mentally unstable). Can you provide a link to a, b & c?
