Yes but then you have no control over the other guys loose dog. Guns have no will or intent to do anything, they are inanimate objects, dogs aren't. Bad analogy comparing a living thing to a hunk of steel.

I've got to marvel at anyone who can sit on their butt in Okla. and tell the intention of a dog in NYC.
Who said that ? All I see are general statements, maybe I missed it. A lot of crap to read.
seadog seems to think he can tell by watching the video that the dog wasn't really going to bite anyone
looks like the dog was trying to protect the passed out guy, anyone that got close..
I've been bitten 5 times at my job... didn't have a pistol or spray
Do you control the other guy's gun?
It's not a perfect analogy but along the same lines as "a lot of people think this is scary, therefore you should not be able to own one." or better yet " some people are not responsible enough to own one of thes dangerous things."
But hey those are reasonable arguments for gun control.
Most people think square head = pitbull, no smoke and mirrors here. If it bites - it must be a pitbull.

The bite numbers quoted from this History channel video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbwMs7cjK0Y
Numbers are right - I don't see a "much larger German Sheppard", even though it did bite harder.
...pit bull-type dogs exhibit "bite, hold, and shake" behavior, which is seen in all breeds of dogs, and at times refuse to release when biting;

You remind me of Deadmeat2 that wrote that huge article about gun wounding from morgue point of view - pretending to know something about gun fight dynamics from seeing a couple of dead guys. You worked at ER and I'm sure you've seen it all - but it doesn't mean you have seen a single PB attack victim: a) most attacks are by mixes b) pure-bread PBs are not human aggressive
Assault weapons were brought up from news point of view : when the news say "assault" - you know it means "semi-automatic rifle" not "select fire" even though that's the definition.
Same reasonable people should know that when they say "pitbull" - it means "mutt with square head" not "APB".
There is a huge problem with bystanders causing a ruckus when they should be minding their own sheeeet.
I wonder what that lady in the black slacks who was doing all the itching at the nypd officer would have been yelling if the dog had latched onto her leg?
Seems to me that the real danger here was the civilians. A shame they had to pop the dog, but it was threatening multiple persons. I'm always amazed at how people get so worked up over an animal that isn't even theirs. Hell, I have two great golden retrievers. If the situation ever arises where one is being overly aggressive and attempting to bite or even nip someone else, I'll shoot them myself. No dog is ever going to be worth more to me than a human's well being...
