    I don’t think those stories are any less common in Europe - selfish assholes with dangerous dogs they haven’t properly trained and don’t know how to control are everywhere as far as I can tell.

    It’s selfish assholes with dangerous weapons that they aren’t properly trained to handle that aren’t common around here, even in countries with very liberal gun legislation like Switzerland.

      The real irony is the guy couldn’t get those dogs away from them even with a gun

      The article says police dispersed them with pepper spray, so a chemical deterrent may have saved his wife’s life there if he had it over or as well as the revolver

        If the recent assassination attempts on Trump or anything to judge by the real problem seems to be that no one in America can aim their guns. There’s probably some sort of metaphor in that.
