TASK DEFINITION: We would like you to assess the QUALITY of each of the following argument (discussing Death Penalty) and determine if the argument is Valid or Invalid. A valid argument is clearly interpretable and either expresses an argument, or a premise or a conclusion that can be used in an argument for the topic of death penalty. An invalid argument is a phrase that cannot be interpreted as an argument or not on the topic of death penalty.
PROBLEM: Since there is no clear evidence indicating that there is any deterrent value to the death penalty, I have trouble rationalizing it as a punishment.

SOLUTION: Valid

PROBLEM: The non-repeat offenders are typically people who committed much smaller crimes that would never be worthy of the death penalty in the first place.

SOLUTION: Valid

PROBLEM: Most gun owners have no violent history - criminals are incarcerated because they did something illegal - murder, rape, robbery, etc.

SOLUTION:
Invalid
