What's next?
The bad guys will just gets these dogs, then the only way to stop them if for everyone to get Great Danes, a Wolf or even one of those massive Newfoundland dogs.
Then what happens when everyone has those, what do you? Well of course you'll need to get yourself a Mountain Lion.
... And then when everyone has Mountain Lions? Well you get a Tiger.
And when everyone has Tigers you will naturally need to get yourself a crocodile, or a Grizzly Bear if you're lucky.
.... And once everyone is roaming the street with their own bears or crocodiles you'll need your own Elephant, just too be safe.
But where will it end? Eventually you'll need to buy your own midget to carry around a gun... And then they'll need to get a dog... And the cycle continues.

Animals with AK-47s.
Dogs with bees in their mouth, and when they bark they shoot bees at you.
It's gonna be like the Golden Compass were everyone had their own demon
Brilliant

Shocker.
Feck me.
Not gonna lie that sounds like a badass dog. Just imagine a bunch if rottweilers focused on one dude.
The 2nd amendment allows armed militias right?
The solution presents itself.

I've seen them in training - they are incredible.
It's hard enough to shoot a larger moving target, let alone a dog that is flying towards you.
Cry havoc and let loose the hounds of school
Why are Americans infatuated with violence?
Still scared the brits are coming back for what we gave up on.
Because people being shot isnt enough. Let's add shooting dogs.
Focus on preventing people from shooting places up not on defending yourself after they start shooting. Fecking half-wits.

Nice stereotyping. You tell me why Londoners are infatuated by knifes
Cheers. I'm doing my best.
I just feel like otherwise non-violent Americans are more likely to use language which to an extent glorifies violence a little bit. It's subtle for sure, but I can't help but think it's deeply ingrained in the culture.
Knives*
Because they have extremely limited access to firearms.
I don't think that we Brits should flatter ourselves - Britain would have a real problem with gun violence if the weapons were widely available, IMO.
I am appreciating a well trained Rottweiler. Why does it translate to loving violence? I find it pretty dumb when Americans stereotype europeans so don't like it the other way round either
I agree, Steve. People everywhere act violently. It's not about the weaponry, although controlling and limiting access has its benefits. The biggest factor imo is economic status.
A Rottie wouldn't be fast enough, they'd use German Shepherds.
That's not quite what you're doing. You basically created a fantasy where a bunch of rottweilers attacked a person.
For you that might be appreciating a well-trained dog, but surely that could've been articulated without invoking imagery of someone being attacked by them? The language above is way more violent in nature than saying "Wow, it's incredible what you can teach dogs to do". It's a subtle thing but here we are.
Mate, I had a meeting today with a rep from my local housing association. She told me that in my community (very small and seemingly trouble-free), three new women's refuges are being built. God help us if guns were available to the scum responsible for domestic violence. And, of course, that's just one aspect of societal violence.
Even if you're right, are you suggesting no one in England would make a similar comment? Plenty of people around with 3 pitbulls who completely mishandle them to have "a wild guard dog bruv". Doesn't mean I stereotype and question why English people are so violent
People are violent everywhere
Rottweilers just look more majestic to me.
I'm pretty sure I didn't mention England at all. Although given their various lock-out laws etc. they probably have a bit of it too.
They're beautiful and incredible dogs to be sure, but better suited to close protection duty. If you need to close distance to an attacker quickly a GSD is as good as it gets
Typically those men do have more access to guns, even in the UK (assuming that your community is a bit more rural than urban). In that regard, police need to be able to confiscate guns if there is any indication of potential domestic violence or even a smidgen of history (complaints, police call outs, etc).
All people are capable of bring equally violent Id say, seeing as we're all the same species. That's why we ban guns. Not because guns kill people, but because why the feck would you make it easier for people to kill people with guns. It's their sole fecking purpose.
Capable, yes, inclined, no. Other factors lead people who would otherwise not engage in violence to act out. I think the experience in the UK shows us that simply banning some forms of weaponry only reduces the carnage slightly. Without tackling the other aspects that lead people down the path to violence we'll continue to see the same outcomes in some demographics. People need safe spaces and opportunities to improve their futures.
Malinois an even better choice.
