Clearly shown from our datas and resources, allowing civilians to have access to guns will provide them self-defense as well as preventing mass of people dying out from the gun massacre incidents driven by criminals. Therefore, Americans should have the right to own a gun with proper restrictions
Your argument is not reasonable, due to, the example shown of "random people" owning guns used them for self-defense. According to Mitch Dudek in Chicago Sun-Times, Uber driver in Chicago stopped mass public shooting, since, concealed handgun was permitted in Chicago. The driver had already taken care of the situation before the police arrived.
Your argument is not sound, due to, the resource of Harvard Journal of Law & Public Policy, which shows the table of international deaths of United States vs. Continental Europe https://docs.google.com/document/d/
Your argument is not valid, supported by the reason that if there was at least one adult, who owned a gun in the Sandy Hook Elementary School, there would have been less casualties and deaths of children and adult staffs by that one individual who could have defended themselves with the gun during that incident.
The studies of Harvard Journal of Law & Public Policy shows that in the United States, the murder rate doubled in the ten‐ year span between the mid‐1960s and the mid‐1970s. Because in this period there were also vastly increasing gun sales. However, the statement of “more guns equal more death” does not follow. Due to the highly rising murder, burglary, and all kinds of violent crimes during that decade drove fearful people to buy guns for self-defence. Therefore, this research proves that more guns does not equal more death.

Harvard Journal of Law & Public Policy research results shows that during the 25‐year period from 1973 to 1997, the number of handguns owned by Americans increased 160% as well as the number of all firearms rose 103%. But in that period, the murder rate declined 27.7%. The murder rate continuously declined, and by the end of 2000, the rate of Americans owning guns steadily increased but the murder rates returned to the low level.
