Question: Most of the following selections were taken from letters-to-the-editors columns of newspapers and magazines. Identify any fallacies that may be committed, giving a brief explanation for your answer. Then, if a fallacy is identified, discuss the possible factors that led the arguer to commit the fallacy.
If a car or truck kills a person, do politicians call for car control or truck control? And call in all cars/trucks? If a child burns down a house do we have match control or child control and call in all of each? Gun control and confiscation is equally as pathetic a thought process in an age of supposed intelligence.
