Reason:

Con seems to argue for the Pro side and vice versa, but I'll just judge the debate based on the arguments each side presents.

Con's points are far more detailed. They offer a rebuttal to each of Pro's points and provide sources to impact out the benefits they are giving. Pro argues that guns will increase death, but Con argues that if trained people own firearms, they can defend themselves. Neither side brings out a study to support their position on lives being saved or lost, but Con goes into more detail and also brings up a lot of other points that Pro eventually drops, like hunting or recreational shooting. That's enough for me to vote Con.

Reason:

I personally disagree with Con, but they definitely won this debate. First, they actually cited sources instead of making unsupported claims. I don't agree with the points they made, but Pro did a very bad job of refuting them, so this one goes to Con.
