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 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!
And that is precisely the reason that I don't let my dog have a gun.
The only thing that stops a bad dog with a gun is a good dog with a gun.
...there are no bad dogs tho.
All dogs go to heaven. Even those with guns.
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

Keep the safety on or use a trigger lock,
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.
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
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:
And in 2019, former Louisiana State University football player Matt Branch publicly discussed how his black labrador retriever stepped on a hunting shotgun that had been placed in the back of a utility terrain vehicle on a hunting trip in Mississippi.
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.

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.

Always put your safety catch on!
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 👏
....c'mon Johnson! Get the fuck up!
...dog in bed: nah, bang bang! Lemmy sleep!
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!

A Dog Took My Face And Gave Me A Better Face To Change The World: The Celeste Cunningham Story
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.
Bro I fucking love, My Dog Accidentally Shot Me In The Dick With My Own Gun and I Bled Out Then Reincarnated In Another World Where All My Friends Are Big Busty Milfs But My Dog Is Now My Spirit Guide Through The 100 Floors of Enlightenment.
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.
