Demonizing Guns and Dogs

October2

Another person who isn’t educated on the issues got some print space in Kansas.

Under the same asinine argument the National Rifle Association uses to keep as many guns on the streets as possible, our own mayor now says: “The dogs aren’t necessarily the problem, it’s the owners” (“Council amends its bad-dog ordinance,” Sept. 19 Local & State).

No, the dogs are the problem. …

Citizens who would like to be able to sit in their backyards, or walk or bike in their neighborhoods, want to see rottweilers, pit bulls and Dobermans — the dogs that flat out are capable of killing you — banned.

No, nannies want to see things banned.

No obviously related posts.

As I pointed out the other day…people like that lady are too fuckin stoopid for words, and unfortunately, have no interest in the fact that their ideas don’t withstand scrutiny.

Just point out to them that my pit bull has killed fewer people than Ted Kennedy’s car.

Interesting run on Kansas-related posts here.

Kansans may be the most welcoming people in the world, they may have common sense and a strong work ethic, but thay also have a bizarre enthusiasm for silly laws designed to save people from themselves. It’s no surprise that Kansas was one of the first states to enact prohibition.

Every person is “flat out capable” of killing someone.

Oddly, none of the pit bulls owned by anyone I know has ever attacked anyone. I guess that’s because of magic, since “the dogs are the problem”.

There aren’t too many bad dogs, the problem is that there are a lot of bad owners.

There are a lot fo bad owners, and bad owners often go for what they percieve as a “Tough breed” further perpetuating the bad dogs.

Now some dogs can be bad, but to say a breed is bad is wrong. However if you have a dog and it is raised to fight by bad owners yep the dog will most likley be trouble.

People like this person who want to blame everything other than the people responsible really should spend their time where they could save many more lives, such as pushing to ban automobiles & requiring instant background checks before allowing people to get a drivers license. Many more folks are killed by automobile accidents every year than by people using guns, knives, or dogs combined. The BATFE could be renamed BATFEA – Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, Explosives, and Automobiles. They could go on & on about how evil automobiles are. LOL

Once upon a time back in the dark ages before I even owned a gun, had kids, I lived in a condo. We had a nice yard but a woman in the complex next to us would always bring her dog over to our yard to poop. She was annoyed with our condo complex because we had a right-of-way through their parking lot to get access to our parking lot.

No amount of trying to talk to her made any difference she just stood there in her robe, smoked her cigarette, and ignored us as her dog “did his business” on our yard every morning. It was then and there that I first realized there actually probably are people that need to be shot.
