[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 1671758, member: 198"] Not a good comparison at all. An "assault rife" (or any other inanimate object weapon) isn't a living being with mood swings that's capable of getting up on it's own an attacking someone. A dog is. All it takes is for them to feel threatened by a stranger (or even their owners...see first link below) that's walking onto their owner's property or that is already standing right outside the door. Usually nothing will happen. But we aren't talking about usually are we? The driver in the article wasn't usually attacked. See the links below for a more accurate view of just how dangerous pits, and some others, can be. Even when they are raised well. See links below. [COLOR=#000000][/COLOR] A pit that has been raised by the best owners on this Earth is still one of the most dangerous dogs on Earth.
