Total control

No. Not even the same ballpark.

I'm sure I could pull an article where the parent says the gun was kept in a safe but the child still managed to get a hold of it.
I'm sure you could too. Can you pull as many, per capita, as kids that are killed by pitbulls?

I'm simply pointing out that blanket statements saying that all pitbulls should be banned is asinine.
Tell me again, what is the point of keeping this breed, that we created, around?

I could make the same argument with accidental gun deaths involving children if that makes you feel better. You don't need to own a gun just like you don't need to own a pitbull.
The pit bull is the AK-47 of dogs. No one needs one and they're are way over the top dangerous. Just imagine if the AK-47 was the third most popular gun in the U.S., and it accidentally killed 30 times more people than the next closest gun. Do you think we should put up with our citizens being armed with these things? No, and people shouldn't have these vicious piece of shite dogs either.

you can't compare a living dog that attacks on its own to an inanimate object.

The kid probably started the fight.

You really don't see a difference between total control and what happened in that story? Really?
Again. Tell me the societal purpose these man-created monsters serve? One that couldn't be served by the other hundreds of dog breeds that don't kill kids on a regular basis. I'll hang up and listen.

Wrong. I have shotguns for hunting and pistols for fun and killing people. I am in complete control of those inanimate items. I do not have a cache of volatile chemicals that could go of at any random time. The government prohibits such things.

It's possible to disagree without lowering yourself to acting like a child.
The point is you, as a responsible owner, should not be punished for others carelessness.

While I tend to agree, we absolutely should not go around and kill family pets. There are lots of pit bull mixes that are wonderful dogs too, where do we draw the line? I know a great pit bull/boxer mix.
Just outlaw their breeding going forward and enforce with incredibly stiff financial penalty. Like game warden shite: confiscate the property where the crime was committed.

It's not about the dog. It's never been about the dog. It's about personal responsibility.
You can not punish responsible people for the actions of the irresponsible.

The comparison of a gun to a pit bull is absurd.
I think you have taken the comparison too literally. A child does not know what a pitbull is capable of just as he does not know what a gun is capable of. The owner of the gun (and the dog) know full well what it is capable of as does any competent parent.

Whoa now, it's done all the time. Curfews, speed limits, insurance rates.

I won't go as far as to say the 6 year old deserved it, but the 6 year old would be alive today if he/she would not have jumped the fence into the dog owner's yard. This falls on the parent for not keeping an eye on her child or teaching the child not to go in other people's fenced in yards.

That's what makes pit bulls so dangerous though. According to the article this kid knew and played with this dog in the past. So I'm sure before this attack the dog was considered by everyone around it to be a "wonderful dog".
That's the thing about pits, they're great dogs... right up until the moment they're not.

They are ugly. That is not a childish opinion. Childish is thinking that owning a pit is cool.

I don't know what this means in this context.

Why do you love these dogs so much? Why can't you have a lab like everyone else? Its a serious question. What do these known time-bombs offer that you can't find in another breed?

There are some gorgeous pits out there. That's a stupid and irrelevant argument to make.
