The same people who scream for the outlawing of a dog breed will be the first to scream even louder when somebody tries to outlaw a particular model of “scary gun” they prefer.

False analogy (and you know it) Guns don't have the ability to get up and do something on their own. Dogs do. Of the hundreds of millions of guns in the US not one has ever got up on its own and shot a child. OTO a great number of pit bulls (and other dogs too for that matter) have done exactly that. Peddle your BS elsewhere. It's kind of insulting that you think you can put something as dumb and as blatantly false as this and not get called on it.

As I mentioned, in case you missed it, do you suppose the families are overly comforted by the fact that the gun didn’t “up and shoot” their loved one of its own volition?

This issue is being pimped on the percentage of deaths caused by a certain dog breed.

That’s the ‘fact’ that keeps being quoted.

Statistics.
Percentages.

My “BS” bugs you because you know it’s not BS and I pushed your “don’t touch my guns!” button, precisely as I intended.

Sometimes I feel as though I’m talking to a mob of city dwellers who have no earthly clue exactly how dangerous *any* animal can be.

More people are killed by cows every year than by Pits.
Horses, too.

Does ~that~ analogy suit you better?

You can’t choose your favorite freedoms to the exclusions of others...at least not honestly.

Good grief, you really are dense if you think anyone is saying guns are the same as dogs.
Of course dogs don’t expel bullets and guns don’t bite.

What you don’t or refuse to see is the common factor involved.

Think about it!
