Guns don't kill people - Dogs with guns kill people

http://www.alternet.org/news-amp-politics/mans-worst-enemy-6-negligent-gun-owners-who-were-shot-their-own-dogs




The canine shootings in these cases are ruled accidental, with no responsibility placed on the owner. These stories are simply funny asides, the equivalent of closing the newscast with the waterskiing squirrel, except the story involves people being shot and often permanently maimed due to irreponsible behavior and neglecting gun safety. This begs the question: is it natural selection when a dog accidently shoots an owner who leaves a weapon lying around with the safety off?

Here are six recent examples of dog-on-human shootings.

1. Dog Steps on Rifle and Shoots Wyoming Man

2. Dog Accidentally Shoots Owner With a 9mm Pistol

3. Dog Shoots Owner With His Shotgun After Jumping and Landing on the Trigger

4. French Hunter Loses Hand After Being Shot by His Dog

5. Dog Shoots Owner in the Buttocks

6. Bulldog Shoots Elderly Man
