Swimming is a choice. We need to ban swimming in the ocean; all those shark attacks!
We need to the government to ban and heavily regulate everything that poses a slight risk to anyone anywhere!
The better analogy would be the jackhole who wanted to bring his pet shark to a public swimming pool.
I've heard that one and I'm not impressed by the logic. It would make more sense if people bought sharks to bring to the beach to swim with the kids and others minding their own business. Your comment suggesting that I think government should ban anything that "poses a slight risk" to anyone is ignorant at best.
Hmmmm... Based on your comments to me, let me guess - you own a pit bull and it's the sweetest little family pet, always under control, and would never hurt another dog or anyone. The same for all pit bull owners - they are all significantly more responsible then other dog owners, and even more responsible then exotic pet owners - like mountain lions, alligators, etc. /sarc
