We have gun accidents involving young children and it is the same thing. The owner of these dogs is responsible because they did not take the necessary precautions to avoid such a tragedy.

The difference between a gun and a pit bull is that the gun doesn't suddenly leap out of the closet and chase down its owners.

The owners are fully responsible because they chose to take a risk by owning dogs known to be unpredictable and violent. There's no excuse.

Guns are predictable. Animals are not.

Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner!

No sane person would leave a loaded gun laying around. The dogs were apparently left at the former residence to guard it, (my conclusion--pets would have moved to the new place right away, imo), and guard it they did, against even the owners' own child. Anyone wandering in there would have been fair game for the dogs.
