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.

A better analogy would be driving around on bald tires and crashing into a bunch of kids at a bus stop. The owner chooses to do so and is convicted of Manslaughter. Just as the States are convicting Pit Bull owners of Manslaughter due to their decisions to own a inherently dangerous dog which goes own to kill a human.

I don't have to do anything as I make a responsible dog ownership decision! Failure of Pit Bull owners to make good ownership decisions has brought this upon themselves.


There is no right to own a dangerous fighting breed, just as there is no right to own a leopard.
