      Guns don’t get old and have a bad day killing their owner. Pitbulls do unfortunately. I’ve seen good ones and bad ones but when they are hurting or just grumpy old farts they can go off. The difference between a shitzu and and pitbull doing that is the pitbull is powerful and the shitzu is annoying.

                the point was that “too many results for my liking” doesnt mean anything unless there is a number greater than 0 that is to your liking in which case yikes

                  The one example you found came over a decade ago from a retriever mix in a household where a different unspecified dog later attacked another child. So on one side you have a single tenuous example from over ten years ago in a huge red flag environment, and on the other you have multiple pit bull fatalities this month.

                  lol, lmao even

                  Edit: it’s also worth noting that your cited example involved an infant child, who are the most vulnerable humans by far and could be at threat by basically any living entity. Whereas every pit bull example I listed above, again just from this month, involved fully grown adults.

              It’s just less common compared to the relative popularity of the breeds

      Guns are weapons. Not lifeforms.
