I do however, have scars on my face from a chihuahua and my daughter as a mark on her shoulder from a chihuahua. Using you guys logic I guess I'd be happy seeing that chihuahua breed wiped from the face of the earth.

Of course I don't feel that way about a breed of dog. I also don't feel that Guns should be banned because a few irresponsible adults allow their firearms to be gotten ahold of by kids who then kill themselves or another kid.


You just don't get it. A gun is always safe until someone makes it unsafe. many of these pit stories involve a dog that was very loving until it decided to kill. If I ever heard one story about a gun loading itself and killing a child all on it's own. I would get rid of all my guns immidiently. Guns are completely predictable. From all statistics Pit bulls are not.

I don't let my kids play with guns just because they have never been shot with a gun before. I realize and recognize the potential for danger. If Pit owners did the same a lot of innocent children would be alive today.

Instead they say, no, my gun isn't dangerous at all, the kids play with it all the time. In fact I leave it unattended in the yard because I know it's completely harmless. Never mind all the children that have been killed by guns before, mine is different. "I substituted gun for Pit Bull to make the point."
