I don't follow your logic. Yes, dogs unfortunately kill people but the numbers don't even compare remotely to deaths from firearms. (The website attributes 30 human deaths per year to dogs and notes how thoroughly they are investigated.)
Not to start a debate here, as it doesn't matter what side your on with gun control, but this comparison is total apples and oranges.
I don't make the comparison. Non-logical people make the comparison.
It's common for people who want to ban guns to suggest buying a dog instead.
A fired gun ALWAYS has a human behind it. The dog can "go off", sometimes fatally, on its own. So suggesting that one should get a dog instead is introducing a random triggering factor - a foolish idea.
Those who blithely suggest buying a dog for protection haven't read the website.
If in debate with them, I'll ask that they do some reading.
