Why oh why do any dog owners let this happen? Very sadly it is almost certainly the dog owner that is at fault as they chose not to control ie put the b*stard on a lead.......

Some days I wish that the UK had the very liberal gun laws that USA has, not very often but sometimes!!!!

The NRA has a slogan. Guns don’t kill people, people kill people.

Should the same principle be used for dogs?

I take it you mean the US NRA (created several years after the UK NRA)?

It is one of the useful facts to wind up Americans that think that all guns in the UK are illegal, that along with the ease of access to silencers/moderators in UK compared with the US is a good one.

Used to get a smile from the US guys when I asked “what sort of arms a well regulated militia would need”

Too many would probably reply tactical nuclear weapons.

A sad state of affairs but nothing that new. I quit NHS because as a lone female working in isolation (x-ray departments were usually remote from A&E) out of hours having to deal with drunks I got fed up with people taking a swing at me or threatening to. In those days it was sadly part of the job and there were no security guards if you were lucky a porter would hang around.
