Critical Reasoning (CR) | Re: Letter to the editor: Proposition Q, a controversial measure on this

(C) is not correct because the second boldface is not the author's position. 
The author's position is "the ban would actually have the opposite effect" (the ban will make the city more unsafe)

He uses the second boldface to support his position - describing why and how the city will become more unsafe.
To be fair, his entire argument is based on his opinions and he doesn't use facts to support his position. 
Hence, given the options, I would choose (E) without hesitation but yes, I wouldn't really call second boldface evidence.
