I saw something online the other day that was perfect for this.
It was a pro-gun poster that advocated lifting gun laws. One half of the poster had a motorcycle, and the copy read something like ';For this machine, a muffler is required by law, attached in-factory, at no expense to the user.'; On the other half, a picture of an assault rifle with copy that read ';A similar muffling device for this machine costs upwards of $200, before licenseing fees and such. This is unfair, blah blah.';
This is clearly a false analogy, because motorcycle mufflers have nothing at all to do with assault rifle silencers, and the two serve very different purposes.Can someone give me examples of false analogy fallacy ?
