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: Within the United States, rural areas have higher rates of gun ownership and lower rates of murder, whites have higher rates of gun ownership than blacks and much lower murder rates.
 Sent2: The states with the higher numbers of minorities have the higher rates of gun control because they claim they have more crime.

SOLUTION: Not similar

PROBLEM: Sent1: It is legal to own weapons in this country, they are just tightly controlled, and as a result we have far less gun crime (particularly where it's not related to organised crime).
 Sent2: Prohibition led to an increase in organized crime, but that hasn't seemed to happen in nations that have banned guns.

SOLUTION: Not similar

PROBLEM: Sent1: NATO, Galileo has claimed that these laws are designed to reduce criminal use of guns (which would have to mean that they target the people, not the guns).
 Sent2: Ok, so are the gun haters claiming the police department are giving the guns criminals use for crime back to the criminals?

SOLUTION:
Not similar
