“PB threads look more like something one sees on DU about taking guns from law abiding people.”
Not exactly the same thing. A pit’s instincts can kick in and do things that no one would have ever imagined it would do. A gun has no instincts and can’t get pissed and start shooting. Everytime something like this happens, the dog owner will usually say, “he’s never, ever, ever acted like that before! Cupcake is always so lovey dovey and will lick people to death.”
Obviously dogs are different than guns, everyone knows that.
It is the response that is similar.
That response being to call for the ban of the perceived offensive object.
Dogs in one case, guns in the other.
In both cases the banner refuses to acknowledge the human responsibility for the tragic occurrence.
The drive-by shooter irresponsibly sprays the street with bullets and a baby is killed.
Someone in the Burleson house left a baby alone with a dog,
an irresponsible act no matter what the type of dog, and a baby is killed.
