Answer and Explanation:
Kristof postulates a primitive caricature of a gun-rights argument. He delivered an inadequate response thoroughly, which was designed to settle the issue, and then he repeated the cycle. In other words, he constructed one straw man after another and failed to do the best any of them. Kristof first claimed to answer the “argument” that cars are more likely to kill a person than guns, but we don’t try to ban cars. Here’s the core of Kristof’s responded that
They could not ban cars, but they can work hard to take out a dangerous product and regulate that product to limit the damage.
They had tried to avoid the damage through seatbelts and airbags, speed limits and highway barriers, driver’s licenses and insurance requirements, crackdowns on drunken driving and texting while driving. He calculated that since 1921, the auto fatality rate had reduced per 100 million miles driven by 95 percent.
