Bad analogy...A gun is an inanimate object with no will of it's own.
Wrong, perfect analogy. A submissive pack member has no will of its own either. They are totally controlled by the pack leader. You have to stop using human psychology on dogs and attributing human characteristics to them as well.
This dog was acting in the roll as pack leader. It's actions were not evil in intent. If the human had been pack leader, the dog would not have attacked. That is the pack leaders roll. The pack leader controls the behavior of every pack member.
You've been on enough dog attack/breed ban threads to have seen this irrelevant objection/observation answered before.
It gets boring.
One more time...
Being a responsible gun owner means being a responsible citizen and maintaining control of your firearms.
Being a responsible dog owner means being a responsible citizen and maintaining control of your dogs.
