Me: I don’t want to take away dog owners’ rights. But we need to do something about Rottweilers.

You: So what do you propose?

Me: I just think that there should be some sort of training or restrictions on owning an attack dog.

You: Wait. What’s an “attack dog”?

Me: You know what I mean. Like military dogs.

Seems to be spot on....

I don't care for using "attack dogs" as a substitute for firearms to explain the argument. A dog may "go off" at any time with or without a person involved, some folks act like it's the same with firearms. One a living breathing being that can make choices or suffer mental illness, the other simply an inanimate object/tool.

Then how about a similar analogy using cars.  Or chain saws.

Agreed. At the end of the day we can use whatever analogies we'd like, but it all comes back to the individual and their actions. Either a person chooses to use a weapon for ill-intent or they do not.
