    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.

    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

      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!

    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.

    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.

      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 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.

        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.

      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.

          somehow you added a level of refinement that would make me expect a rating of like 8.3 on mangadex
