    This is the gun lobby argument. Guns don’t kill people, people do.

    People shouldn’t be allowed to own dangerous animals period. There’s a good reason we aren’t allowed to keep Hyenas as pets in our backyards.

      Yes because my guns in a safe attack people all the time. No this isn’t comparable at all. This is stupid people owning dangerous animals, that have a mind of their own.

      Sure the people shouldn’t be allowed to own potentially dangerous animals, just like guns, but I still agree that it’s not the dogs fault their owners were stupid.

      I love dogs, but I would also add that it should be forbidden to breed them, and you shouldn’t be allowed to get animals from someone else than a shelter

      Idiots would have something dangerous regardless if they’re allowed or not. Normal human wouldn’t even try to get a dog, especially in a city.

        Idiots are perhaps annoying and sometimes mildly dangerous. An idiot with a pitbull is extremely dangerous.

        Since we can’t realistically outlaw idiots, we can with relative ease outlaw the obviously dangerous things they can get their hands on like guns and pitbulls.
