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: We must be doing something right because our violent crime rates are dropping while your native country keeps rising in spite of gun and knife bans.
Sent2: Then why do nations which ban guns have a much lower gun crime rate than the US?

SOLUTION: Similar

PROBLEM: Sent1: You can not use this as evidence that the reduction in crime is due to the gun ban.
Sent2: It is just a case of prevention, remove guns being so easily accessible and you then decrease the gun crime and remove the need for guns to defend yourself.

SOLUTION: Not similar

PROBLEM: Sent1: Second, regulating private party sales will not render gun shows unimpor-tant as sources of trafficked crime guns; the best evidence is that most of those guns are sold by licensed retailers.
Sent2: The gun show review found that firearms were diverted at and through gun shows by straw purchasers, unregulated private sellers, and licensed dealers.
