Examine the following arguments and identify the refutations.
It has been argued that automobiles cause more deaths than handguns and that if one opposes handguns on the ground that doing so would save the lives of innocent people, one would soon find oneself wanting to outlaw the automobile. But this argument is certainly faulty because it has conveniently ignored the fact that our society regulates the operation of motor vehicles by requiring drivers to have a license, a greater restriction than many states impose on gun ownership. Besides, a gun is a lethal weapon designed to kill, whereas an automobile or truck is a vehicle designed for transportation. Private ownership and use in both cases entails the risk of death to the innocent. But there is no inconsistency in a society’s refusal to tolerate this risk in the case of guns and its willingness to do so in the case of automobiles.
