Even more interesting.
The anology Roper, is that no matter how well trained, and I sincerely doubt even 1% of them are trained half that well.....they have minds of their own. Just like extremely, well trained tigers do ( yes I am aware of the differences, that's rather obvious) Not sure where you saw a direct correlation or comparison to risk levels..........just saying that's a bit of s leap. Context is always oh so important.
Guess you didn't read " don't read to much into it, or get carried away" Gilroy.
but in the topic, odd for someone who believes in GC and the registry, your against controls on PBs.
and the fact is, we do have gun controls..lots of them...how many controls on dogs? Especially those that statistically it's clear. As I said you wouldn't risk a child getting near a loaded gun ( storage laws) but more than willing to risk them getting close to a different type of loaded gun. And it's even stranger ( not really, the reason is fairly clear) when you consider how defensive we are towards children, (want me to name a few dozen measures we are happy to take to help protect them, starting with safety seats, back ground checks for people that get close to them) and how strongly we react when a person harms them.
context is oh so important.

Yeah, it's because only bad owners acquire them, no good owners. Has nothing to do with their breeding/dispositions. If that's the case, I'm sure any dog would make a good bird/deer/raccoon dog to.
too funny
read the first section, a few times till it sets in.
1,000 people a day requiring emergency rooms. Don't think guns send that many people to emergency rooms.
read the rest.
and just 9.2% of the dog population.
Virtuallyno controls. None.
i am always amazed at the things people will jump on, like dogs that want to fight over wee bones to gnaw on.
