The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

As a gun owner the idea that people are ok with pitbulls but have a problem with me pisses me off. For anything bad to happen with a gun requires human agency. I actually have the capacity to know I'm not going to harm an innocent person today. But a pitbull, their owners are openly playing a lottery. Every time you walk out side with it its like me muzzle sweeping everyone in my community with my finger on a trigger saying "I've done it lots of times and nothing bad has happened. It didn't hurt you this time so mind your own business. My choices don't effect you. It's not my fault if your kids are scared of me pointing my gun around. My kids aren't going to get hurt in my home if I practice poor gun safety. See, they love playing with it. That's proof it's kid friendly"

As dangerous as a gun and with less certain human control over it is not acceptable. I'll straight up say it. I feel as uncomfortable around a pitbull owner as someone mishandling a gun. And in the gun world if someone is willfully and blazenly mishandling a firearm to the point of endangering people you have a license to shoot them if they aren't responsive to someone telling them to stop (non-lethally ideally).

I don't know about licenses but if you own a pitbull people should openly tell you you are the asshole that you are.

While im against guns, pitbulls are literally probably more dangerous than guns when "used accidentally". Its no mistake that both my dog and the kid that got attacked got bit on the face and thigh as pitbulls always go for the kill. If you accidentally discharge a gun it has a chance of hitting a vital point and a chance of missing and a chance of hitting a less vital point of your body. If youre alone and an average person a pitbulls gonna kill you. If your alone with a gun it doesnt do anything.
