Explanation / Answer

Hasty generalization-It is a form of informal fallacy in which an example or a case discussion becomes a generalization in every situation of life.

It says that of political party owner possessing a gun gives up their assault guns, then there will be a decrease in the number of mass slayings in the country like USA. It is a hasty decision without understanding the real situation in life. It has no relation to the guns possessed by criminals and all politician having guns are not criminals in society.
