I'm for gun control and pit bull control.

50. If, god forbid, my Pit Bull ever fell into the hands of an irresponsible human, she would suffer.

She would bleed. She might even attack that irresponsible human who was abusing her. She WOULD NOT harm another human. And she would not harm anyone else, either.

You see, she's already been through that. As a puppy, she was intended to be a bait dog. She was neglected & abused because she wasn't meant to live just long enough for her to be killed. She's grown up to be a happy, friendly & well-adjusted canine citizen. She does have a lingering timidity which is a little troubling in that she won't defend herself, even when it's warranted. She's OK with other dogs one-on-one, but in a group four or more she tends to go off by herself or cling to me for emotional support.

The same can't be said for a gun. Being an inanimate object, the way it's treated by one owner doesn't get passed on to the next.

Dogs are social beings, with emotional ties to their humans. Guns aren't.
