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: Another large source of guns used in crimes are unlicensed street dealers who either get their guns through illegal transactions with licensed dealers, straw purchases, or from gun thefts.
 Sent2: When neither party to a transaction is a licensed firearms dealer, firearms transfers must be completed through a licensed dealer.

SOLUTION: Not similar

PROBLEM: Sent1: Basically, when you have a gun free society, then who has them?
 Sent2: You cannot defeat the facts about gun free zones�۪ failure to keep guns out of them so now you attack the messenger!

SOLUTION: Not similar

PROBLEM: Sent1: Furthermore, as I am sure you are aware, the British police do not carry firearms, and they defend themselves equally well against attacks from criminals armed with lethal weapons.
 Sent2: Therefore, if you avoid gangs (those who tend to have guns - they are still criminals), there is little point in carrying a gun yourself.

SOLUTION:
Not similar
