Many fail and refuse to see that guns can save lives. A single bullet could be enough to take down a criminal who could have killed a large number of innocent civilians. There are “armed citizens/teachers who had relatively quick access to a firearm” who stopped mass school shootings (Huntwork). Everyone can agree that one death versus a dozen or more deaths is worth it. Wright verifies this when he says: “There are many verifiable causes why civilians use firearms every day for effective self-defense. » The purpose of guns should be to help protect society. Citizens should have the choice to “protect and empower” themselves from criminal or life-threatening actions (Huntwork). After all, people intent on murder tend to go after easy targets. Others argue that gun restrictions won't solve the problem, but rather a limit on the amount of ammunition a person can purchase and possess at one time. Here again, the lethality of the aggressor does not matter, but rather the content "at the heart of a massacre", which incites him to do what he wants.
