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: It is asserted, therefore, that the D.C. gun control laws irrationally prevent only law abiding citizens from owning handguns.
 Sent2: Guns in the hands of law abiding citizens save lives, the statistics back this up from EVERY country EVER to introduce gun control.

SOLUTION: Not similar

PROBLEM: Sent1: Gun control laws only control the guns in the hands of people who follow laws.
 Sent2: All of the gun control laws the gun haters want will only be obeyed by the law abiding citizens!

SOLUTION: Similar

PROBLEM: Sent1: Although I still think that certain regulations need to be set in place in order to control the distribution of guns, complete gun control is not the answer; however, something still needs to be done.
 Sent2: While their by no means should be an outlaw of guns, I do believe restrictions should be put in place.

SOLUTION:
