Is there an apparent contradiction or fallacy represented by the statements in the details?

1. In America, the fact that some Muslims are homicidal lunatics who shoot lots of people who annoy them could never be justification for taking any action that might infringe on the lives of all Muslims. There are crazy people everywhere. It has nothing to do with The Koran.

2. In America, that fact that some gun owners are homicidal lunatics who shoot lots of people who annoy them is valid justification for considering to infringe on the rights of all gun owners. Crazy, murderous luntics aren’t the problem. The problem is guns and the Second Amendment.
