It is not statistically insignificant to those that were killed.So what? That's the attitude that myriads of politicians utilize to scare people into mountains of worthless law. It may be significant to an individual, but I, or we, are not responsible for spending our lives policing the stupidity of others at the expense of our and our fellow citizens freedom and wealth. I'm not even going to address the ridiculous comparison to Ebola you flopped out there, you'll need to conduct a review of logic and rhetoric for that. It amazes me that we have a conservative site here with all of us strict constructionist "freedom lovers" and when something comes along that kills or wounds a few dozen people from INDIVIDUAL IRRESPONSIBILITY AND STUPIDITY on behalf of those involved, there's a crew willing to jump right onto handing it off to the consistently reelected pile of dung we call a political class here.
Genetically rabid dogs that have killer instinct bred into their genes should be allowed to be treated as menace by RESPONSIBLE individuals and put down when necessary. For example, when you see a pitbull without a leash and roaming the streets, you should be able to put it down. I personally do not care if the pitbulls maul their owners or the owners’ families. Fine. But I am against them mauling in the public.
Your right ends where mine begins. I have the right to defend myself against those that threaten my and my family’s safety. That includes your genetically rabid dogs.
This is a place of selective, cherry picked freedoms.
