In numbered premise/conclusion form (and using the language of propositional logic), illustrate and explain how the argument in below letter might be structured. Note that in each case, the arguments may be enthymematic—that is, they may be missing certain parts. Your task is to fill in the missing parts, making the premises and conclusion explicit, as well as to analyze whether the argument is sound or unsound.

"At least the July 16 news article "Spike in violent crime follows gun sales increase," about a report on gun-buying, noted, "The authors caution that a study of this nature cannot prove causality, particularly at a time of massive social upheaval in a country dealing with an unprecedented public health crisis as well as a nationwide protest movement."

It's not that the "gun-buying binge is associated with a significant increase in gun violence across the United States"; it's the significant increase in violence and civil unrest that's driving the "gun-buying binge."

There has been no evidence that law-abiding citizens are going out and committing violence with their newly acquired defensive firearms. There's no evidence that demonstrates any racial bias evident in the rush to purchase firearms. With civil unrest of any type in which citizens feel threatened, they will do whatever they feel necessary to defend their families, homes and businesses — and that cuts across all racial, ethnic and political lines.

The headline for the article should have read "Spike in gun sales follows rise in violence and lawlessness.""
