It's time to round up all the knives, as we sink deeper into a "knife culture."
A Reno man shot and killed a pit bull Monday, saying it twice charged a woman just blocks away from the Veterans Memorial Elementary School, authorities said.
The 35-year-old woman had been walking east on Wonder Street on her way to work when a 70-pound pit bull that had been running loose with another pit bull knocked her to the ground, police said.
The woman ran to a home in the 700 block of Balzar Circle in search of help and a man chased the dogs away with a stick.
When the woman left the house, the first pit bull again charged her and lunged at her numerous times before the man returned with a .357 magnum pistol and fired four to five rounds at the dog, police said.
This is the problem.
I am totally opposed to the use or ownership of firearms.
But luckily this happened in the USA and this guy went home and got his 357 Magnum and blew the dog away, this saving a life.
So I can see that sometimes they are needed.
But... What the hell is this bloke doing with a magnum in his house ?
Or.... Why do people breed these sort of dogs ?
There are arguements for and against both.
