The only thing that stops a bad dog with a gun is a good dog with a gun.
All dogs go to heaven. Even those with guns.
Why are you so mad, Bront?

My dog is a fucking libertarian, I can't take his gun, so I lightened the trigger on my Glock for the cat. Cats got my back.
Bruh. Can't believe you fell for that. Oldest cat trick in the book. Best don't be late with those treats!
It is the right to bear arms not dog arms
The government is coming for your dogs guns!!!
Mental health assessments are weaponized against black and brown labs.
Maybe put that firearm in a safe. Or better yet, get rid of it. Of all the things that say, "I am not a responsible gun owner", getting shot by your dog has got to be pretty high up on the list.
Just simply, why was it ready to fire? I suppose I'm of a Glock kind of mindset, unless you're seconds from killing something the chamber should be empty.
I'm not saying put bulls are the most dangerous breed, but when was the last time you heard of a retriever or a lab shooting someone?
I was gonna make the same joke, but then I finished reading the article:
Damm, hoisted by my own petard.
That's why I always keep my petard pointing away from me.
The only thing that can hoist your own petard...
Oh, great. Another idiot going on about pit bulls. It's not the breed, it's the owner. Any dog can shoot you if you don't take it to the range and teach it basic gun safety.
I don't want to defend pitbulls, but a chihuahua with a small kalachnikov would be deadly as well.
I can confirm. As a person who had a chihuahua for 11 beautiful years, he yearned for the most violent death of any and all that displeased him, which was anything bigger than him.
I forgot Siamese cats too. If you're the owner, they love you. If you're a stranger, they'll rip your head off.
The anger of 10,000 men
Hey, pit bulls are big huggabugs when they're not raised by assholes. A pit bull with proper weapons training would never have had poor trigger discipline.

This has to be the most american headline I've read this year
It happens round here from time to time. Why? Nobody knows. Well we all know, but the government isn't legally allowed to say why or do anything to prevent it.
The only way to stop a bad dog with a gun is a good dog with a gun!
You said exactly what I opened the comments to post 👏
Poor dog got scared.
Oh the owner? Fuck him. Got what he deserved. Don't practice proper gun safety? You got what what was coming to you
poor dog not only got scared but probably got it's hearing completely destroyed
An average day in the USA.
The only thing that'll stop a bad boy with a gun, is a good boy with a gun.

The canine revolution has started. They’ve been playing us for fools, making us think it’s the feline population we had to fear, all the while planning this.
Canine together, strong!
My dog accidentally shot me in the dick with my own gun and I bled out then reincarnated as an overpowered generic anime mc and all the pretty ladies are in to me for no logical reason and the plot won't make sense no matter how many chapters you read.

It's just got such deep character development and creative writing. The powers are so interesting. 賢治タイム really makes you think...
somehow you added a level of refinement that would make me expect a rating of like 8.3 on mangadex
I just watched this episode last night too, first thing I thought of.
That dog got tired of being his bitch.
Guns don't kill people, dogs do?
Guns don't kill people. It's impossible to be killed by a gun. We are all invincible to bullets and it's a miracle!

All hail.
....c'mon Johnson! Get the fuck up!
...dog in bed: nah, bang bang! Lemmy sleep!
Always put your safety catch on!
Another fine recipient of a Darwin Award.
This feels more relevant than ever
Kinky...
Good. One idiot down, many to go.
Grazed thigh. So most likely learned nothing and will discipline the dog instead.
Does that headline not sound absurd to you?
