Reply to comment by Prestigious-Tie2049 in A Bill Would Require Insurance Companies To Provide Equal Coverage to Dog Owners by NewsHugh

You're talking about a maximum of 23 deaths a year versus 4.5 million pitbulls in the US. That's the biggest waste of concern I have ever heard of.

Yeah and there’s only ~45,000 gun deaths out of ~81 million gun owners in America, so we should get rid of all gun control laws too, right?

  1. Your argument about pitbulls is ridiculous because the problem is not the dog, it's the owner, as proven by the 99.99995% of pitbulls that attack zero people ever. 2 your gun comment was pro gun. If you don't understand that, learn grammar. And 3, if you think someone on the internet, who you will never know the real name of, could threaten you, you need to go outside.

It appears we agree only on point number 2.

But if you fail to make the connection between point number one, of pitbulls and dog attacks, and gun owners and violent shootings, I can’t really help you. 🤷‍♂️

How about car owners and violent hit and runs? We should get rid of all cars. There is a certain amount of risk you have to accept in a society. The elimination of that risk always comes with an elimination of freedom. No matter how much freedom you give up, there will always be some level of danger. I have made that consideration in my life. I don't own a pit, but I love dogs and would own a pit of that was the dog that spoke to me. I also don't like the idea of being shot, but I also don't really like that coyotes come out of the woods next to where my kid plays and like that I have the ability to shoot one if I have too. I'll keep my freedoms, I fought for them and I get the feeling you didn't.
