the pit bull/gun analogy doesn't ring true for me. a better comparison is the one between pitbulls and people who carelessly die because of something they initiated.
the guy shot in the back and killed by police
the guy killed in the theater for texting
the guy killed for playing his radio too loud in the parking lot
those guys would all be alive now if they didn't put themselves at risk. it doesn't matter that the cop was wrong, the dude is dead now. i'm sure he'd rethink the sitch in hindsight if he could and decide not to run.
same with pit bulls, i'm not going to put myself at risk by being around aggressive bully dogs. at the end of the day, when the dog goes bezerk on a whim and kills a person, that person is dead for good, at that point, the debate is moot. loved one lost. why risk loved ones over a dog? why open myself up to massive liability in public with a bully dog?
that defies my logic.
