Well, it's technically impossible to know if it saved lives or not. People loved to jump on Frances case when the Bataclan shooting happened but no one can account for times someone wanted a gun but couldn't get one due to price or unavailability, it's undocumented. It's not like a terrorist or bad person reported when they couldn't get a gun, which could have happened plenty of times or none (my bet would be on at LEAST a couple) so you have to go by statistics over time, which the country with the most guns has the most gun related deaths. There's no arguing that because it's just numbers.
It's a moot point now, we're a gun nation and we can't go back. The best we can do is just be as thorough as we can regulating who can legally buy firearms. I don't think any rational people have a problem with strict background and mental health checks sans people with something to hide.

Do you really believe if a criminal wants a gun he won't be able to get one, because there are restrictions, or illegal? Do you base that on drugs? Alcohol during Prohibition? Drunk driving?
All those were/are outlawed, yet people had no problem obtaining them. One of the arguments made for legalizing drugs is people will get them if they want them, and we are wasting tax dollars trying to police it.
The one trite saying that I agree with is "When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns."
It's a dumb saying that I normally hate, but it's pretty much true. (yes, I know it will be a long, long time before guns are outlawed)
