This is part 2 of a two part series.
Part one: Liberals, how do you feel about anti-pitbull legislation? | Page 7 | US Message Board - Political Discussion Forum
Pit bulls are the guns of the dog world. There is not a single thing inherently wrong or evil about a pit bull, nor a gun. The people who fear them are the people who don't know anything about them. The fear people have is based on ignorance, judgmentalism, and superficiality. Pit bulls are the equivalent of an "assault" dog. But that's based on nothing more than a physical appearance that scares people. I was not at all surprised to notice that some of the biggest gun control advocates were largely the ones who also support restrictions of some degree on pit bull ownership. The thinking is largely the same. Blame the gun, not the person. Blame the dog, not the owner. Then demonize the good people who are owners, based on the bad people who are owners.
Mind you, there was some role reversal. But only a little.
It is said that one of the truest ways to read a person's character is to look at the way s/he treats animals. So my plea to the liberals is this: Before you support more anti-gun legislation, think of the puppies. Don't be that guy who supports killing puppies. Don't support it directly. Don't support it indirectly. They're just puppies. They just want to love you and be loved in return. They are beautiful little souls. Do you really want to be so cruel?
