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?

The 2nd argument is vague as it says NOTHING SHOULD BE BANNED which is not appropriate.

The answer should be D.
Because how can we say that nothing can be banned taking into the consideration of the harmful and illegal things?
