Again with the straw man argument. Firearms are inanimate objects and do not take any life on their own, that takes human agency.

Dogs have inbred tendencies, and don't need any human agency to direct them, and sometimes they are impossible to direct at all. Heelers herd and nip, chihuahuas yap and nip, pointers point, and some dogs have other more serious tendencies and commensurate abilities to cause grievous harm.

In any case, trying to ban them won't work, because making something illegal doesn't stop it. There will always be people who want them, will have them, and we will continue to see stories like this. Sucks when it happens to you or your family, I can assure you.
