Wrong yet again; handguns are inanimate objects that do not act on their own through instinct or training. Handguns aren’t “bred;” somebody has to use them. Bad analogy.

Pit Bulls, on the other hand, ARE bred, do have instinct, and do act on their own despite training, patience, et.al.

We have a God-given right to keep and bear arms. Pit Bulls don’t come with that same privilege. We have NO need for Pit Bulls. For any reason.

Just my $0.02.

Analogy is based on responsible ownership and accountability.
In both, your enjoyment of your property mustn't (reasonably) conflict with others' right to enjoyment of theirs.
Keeping the property under control is crucial to both.
The methods are specific to the type of property but the underlying principle is the same.

We have a God-given right to keep and bear arms. Pit Bulls don’t come with that same privilege.

I made an argument citing the 4th, 5th and 9th amendments over here
on why blanket dog banning or seizure is problematic.

We have NO need for Pit Bulls. For any reason.

The danger of that type of thought process should be obvious.
