The right answer should be option D.

By 'nothing' does it mean that even drugs or guns shouldn't be banned from the country? Every Life-threatening thing needs to be banned. It's doesn't have anything to do with democracy. It's for the protection of the Democratic people only. How is statement 2 strong in any sense?

Yes, isn't that too extreme? The use of the phrase 'nothing should be banned' indicates that even if every household has a rocket launcher and army tank, the government cannot impose any restriction or can on this. How is that correct?
