TASK DEFINITION: We would like you to classify each of the following sets of argument pairs (discussing Gun Control)  into either SIMILAR or NOT SIMILAR. A pair of arguments is considered SIMILAR if the arguments are about the same FACET (making the same argument), and is considered NOT SIMILAR if they do not have the same FACET. A FACET is a low level issue that often reoccurs in many arguments in support of the author's stance or in attacking the other author's position.
PROBLEM: Sent1: This is needed to prevent gun owners from covering up sales to prohibited purchasers by later claiming ��� when those guns are traced to crime ��� that their guns were stolen.
 Sent2: If a gun owner knowingly sells to a prohibited felon who commits a murder with the gun, then the felon alone is responsible for the murder.

SOLUTION: Not similar

PROBLEM: Sent1: now imagine if no criminals could get hold of a gun, you wouldn't need a protection, as no criminals have guns.
 Sent2: Doesn't hold together, though - you have no evidence that criminal arms supply is unaffected by gun control.

SOLUTION: Not similar

PROBLEM: Sent1: Are you saying that the only reason there are criminals armed with guns is because we're not willing to accept gun prohibitions as the answer?
 Sent2: Just to be clear, you're saying that only gun laws, somehow, are unable to deter criminal acts?

SOLUTION:
