Exactly. The ignorance contained in these threads is often overwhelming Major Nikon Oct 2016 #104

Dogs that are not properly trained & solcialized, or are subject to abuse & neglect can be dangerous baldguy Oct 2016 #7

Excellent point, these killer dogs are obviously NOT pit bulls, but have been maligned by the media Major Nikon Oct 2016 #14

I think you're on your way to setting a record... kristopher Oct 2016 #73

Your powers of reasoning are definitely overwhelming and you make an excellent argument here Major Nikon Oct 2016 #94

Wrong.wrong and more wrong Drahthaardogs Oct 2016 #92

You do realize that most dogs are not bred & trainded for hunting, right? baldguy Oct 2016 #116

Comparing a pointer on point Drahthaardogs Oct 2016 #120

Not acknowledging that hunting is a blood sport is dangerous & naive. baldguy Oct 2016 #124

I have already said prey drive vs fight drive Drahthaardogs Oct 2016 #125

The issue is not the dog, it's more a problem of a bad owner. JonathanRackham Oct 2016 #5

Exactly. Bad owners and bad breeders. Midnight Writer Oct 2016 #17

The breed is a genetic mess Drahthaardogs Oct 2016 #23

Let me throw this out for review. kristopher Oct 2016 #77

Pit Bulls are not a genetic mess standingtall Oct 2016 #101

There is a whole list of triats other than health one must consider Drahthaardogs Oct 2016 #103

My breed comment is not nonsense it's a matter of historical record standingtall Oct 2016 #109

Well then, by all means Drahthaardogs Oct 2016 #112

I don't support a ban, but.... missingthebigdog Oct 2016 #8

Just like any other rational response to an individual posing a threat to public safety. baldguy Oct 2016 #9

So, nothing we can do proactively? missingthebigdog Oct 2016 #20

So, kill certain dogs based on what they *might* do, and ignore other dogs? baldguy Oct 2016 #29

Where did I say kill dogs? missingthebigdog Oct 2016 #32

I agree! get the red out Oct 2016 #79

Ever notice how some anti-gun people use similar arguments to defend pit bulls LongtimeAZDem Oct 2016 #10

Bullshit. baldguy Oct 2016 #11

+1. Hoyt Oct 2016 #22

Every time a pitbull kills a person, you guys say, "it's not the dog, it's the owner" LongtimeAZDem Oct 2016 #24

The NRA and their allies advocate policies with exasperate the problem of gun violence. baldguy Oct 2016 #25

Wow; talk about "temperament" LongtimeAZDem Oct 2016 #30

Pit Bulls do not commit the vast majority of lethal dog attacks. That is a lie. baldguy Oct 2016 #34

You will note that I said "pit bull types", not pit bulls LongtimeAZDem Oct 2016 #35

"Pit Bull types" = anything with 4 legs and a tail. baldguy Oct 2016 #117

Again, I am neither right wing nor NRA; your accusation is a lie LongtimeAZDem Oct 2016 #118

I'm just using the same standards the BSLs you support use. baldguy Oct 2016 #121

Nowhere in my comments have I supported breed-specific legislation; you comment is another lie LongtimeAZDem Oct 2016 #123

You're the one who nonsensically brought guns into a conversation about dogs. baldguy Oct 2016 #126

Nope; I merely pointed out that you use the same arguments as those you oppose LongtimeAZDem Oct 2016 #128

And now you're denying the thing that you did, that everyone can see that you did. baldguy Oct 2016 #129

except guns can't act on their own. ileus Oct 2016 #31

Hysteria is pretending the bite of a yorki is equal to the bite of a pit Egnever Oct 2016 #57

Hysteria is pretending one type of dog is responsable for the actions of humans who mistreat dogs. baldguy Oct 2016 #134

Nah hysteria is pretending a firecracker and a pipe bomb are the same thing. Egnever Oct 2016 #137

Right. You're thinking any kind of pipe should be treated like a pipe bomb. baldguy Oct 2016 #138

No I am thinking pipe bombs are not something you take the risk with for a reason Egnever Oct 2016 #139

And still the people that create aggressive dogs have no responsibility in your eyes. baldguy Oct 2016 #140

You keep hanging on to that Egnever Oct 2016 #142
