I quoted the bit I agree with.

I'm not sure what else is needed from that article. It's always the same nonsense. They agree that pit bulls and rottweilers are the breeds that commit most kills and maimings, yet we should not ban these breeds. Well then why do these breeds kill so often? Why only those breeds? Since it is only a few breeds that exhibit asymmetric risk of death and or maiming why not simply ban the breeds? What is gained by keeping these dogs among the public? Why must people die or be maimed for someones "pleasure" of keeping a dangerous animal? What else but banning these animals? Only allow them to be kept in cages?

tommy:
I can break it down for you like this, and you can't say anything about this comparison no matter what you do. Both of these are dangerous things in life controled by people. Don't give me that "a gun can't walk off and kill someone", cause a dog can't either. The owner is in control of it's dog and gun and if the owner is not responsible people will die just the same.

A cop with a gun and a criminal with a gun, the cop or responsible person can always make the right choice with it's possession unlike the criminal or not responsible person. Don't blame the gun.

Wait, I thought you said that owners not having control of their dogs was the problem ...  :dizzy:

Yes, owners not in the control are the problem, not the ones who actually have the control and take control.

I guess I should have said "owners should be in control". Better?

patrickl:
50% of the people who got killed by a pit bull were the victim of a dog that never did anything wrong before. So it's not just situations like Shardian's. Every dog can bite in a bad moment. The problem with a pit is that it kills or maims when it attacks.

You can blah blah about being in control all you want, but these are animals. You can NEVER be in complete control of an animal. A dog DOES attack and kill on it's own where a gun needs to have someone pull the trigger for it. A dog can be annoyed because it was subjected to loud noises, because it's sick or because it feels threatened or whatever. In that state of mind it can do something completely unexpected and attack.

There is a reason why only a few breeds of dogs kill so much more often than all the others combined. It's because the breeds themselves are more dangerous than the others.
