Depends on the time period and the type of gun.
During WWI, the main German infantry rifle was the 1898 Mauser. The main American rifle was the 1903 Springfield. Their designs are so close that US had to pay royalties to Mauser. US Army also made use of shotguns for trench warfare, while no other country did so.
In WWII the standard German rifle was the Karabiner 98, which is still the same Mauser design. US was armed with the M1 Garand, which had higher ammunition capacity and a faster rate of fire that made it superior. WWII also saw the use of many other types of weapons, but in more limited numbers. Some of them had no direct counterparts on the other side of the conflict, such as the M1 Carbine. In pistols, German gun design has always tended to be more mechanically complex, where American gun design is more on the functional side.

The allied armies in World War 2 used the Bren gun and the BAR gun as the squad automatic weapon while the Nazis used mg 32's and mg 42's which army had the advantage?
The British and American machine guns were no match for the German light machine guns. This is not just an opinion but it is based on facts. Their rate of fire of the German guns were higher. The BAR held only a 20 round clip. The German light MGs were not as heavy. The American Thompson and the British Sten gun were pretty good weapons but still not better than the German MP40 machine pistol. If it wasn't for the American M-1 Garand rifles, the German rifle company would probably have had more fire-power than the American rifle company. Another factor when comparing weapons is their reliability and serviceablity as to how they performed in the field when exposed to water, dirt, sand and mud. The American Model 1911 pistol could withstand much more abuse than the fragile Lugar pistol. That is my opinion.
Were German people allowed to own guns?
While private citizens in Germany did own guns, there have been many restrictions and limitations over the years. Prior to the start of World War 2, the German government began a program of registration, and later, confiscation of guns from private citizens. Citizens in Germany may own guns today, but again, with limitations.
