I'm for gun control and pit bull control.

105. No, there isn't a correlation

"between the laws used to regulate dogs & the way dogs are treated vs. the laws used to regulate guns & the way guns are treated". There is a correlation between the argument you use to defend the dogs which are responsible for 40+% of all dog attacks (punish the irresponsible pit owners, not the responsible pit owners) and the argument of not punishing the responsible gun owners for the less than 2% who act irresponsibly. It is the same argument.

Dogs are property in our society just as guns are property. You are responsible for what you do with your dog, just as a gun owner is responsible for what they do with their guns. You stated before, "Guns can't think & react based on how they're trained. Dogs can."..I would more trust the thinking of just about any human over the thinking of a dog..no matter how smart the dog is, reasoning is unreliable. We have German Shepards, they are all raised the same. We have had a couple which were extremely protective to the point we had to lock them up when company was here, most however wouldn't hurt anyone...unless they believed we were being hurt. Dogs don't always think right.
