TASK DEFINITION: We would like you to assess the QUALITY of each of the following argument (discussing Gun Control) 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 gun control. An invalid argument is a phrase that cannot be interpreted as an argument or not on the topic of gun control.
PROBLEM: It is asserted, therefore, that the D.C. gun control laws irrationally prevent only law abiding citizens from owning handguns.

SOLUTION: Valid

PROBLEM: Now I think it does get a little extreme with owning several M-16s, but if I want to own a pistol, a shotgun, and some fancy automatic, well that's my right.

SOLUTION: Valid

PROBLEM: Perhaps by examining examples of early gun control we can better evaluate such a claim.

SOLUTION:
Valid
