It's that easy.

You're forgetting the most important aspect, which kills the effectiveness of all legislation; enforcement. Who is enforcing this? With what funds? How will these cases be investigated?
Cops already have a shitty track record enforcing simple laws. They will absolutely not be bothered to investigate and enforce these, AND prosecution of such crimes would be extremely low on the judiciary system's priority.
It's exactly like animal abuse. Most countries have a shit ton of animal abuse laws. Animals still get abused all the time and people largely get away with it because enforcing those laws is difficult, time consuming, and expensive.
Saying, "Go enforce that," is about as helpful and ingenuous as your parents telling you to go get a job and buy a house or to go out and meet a nice girl and marry her.

dogs in total kill nearly 43 people per year, yet cats kill none. yet another reason why cats are better kek
>>
>>5135889
if we include bites that caused people to go to the emergency room, the total would become 370000. toxoplasmosis is caused not by cats, but their owners being retards. Also, cats are way better than dogs in all other ways.

ok esl+ what do you mean by southern half? Maybe you think Mexico, (your homeland prob or another country near there) should get it?
>you heckin pointed out im dumb! you dont care my fake reports say cats r bad!!
I think that you really dont care about this at all. you started "basedqouting" me or whatever and are purely trying to make me mad. However, it doesnt work because you are an esl

>"b-but who is gonna enforce that???"
THERE IS ONE....

>>5135841
AI says that's already the case in 36 states. Problem is that this doesn't keep the low-IQs from buying things they can't handle, harming other people out of sheer idiocy as a consequence.

>Around 4.5 million Americans are bitten by dogs every year, resulting in some 800,000 seeking medical treatment.[3][4] Dogs not only cause both injury and death as a result of their bites, but may also transmit zoonotic infections such as rabies, which can also result in illness or death.[5] It is estimated that 15% to 20% of dog bite wounds become infected, with occasional cases of meningitis and endocarditis leading to death.

So yes, while direct killings of humans by dogs are rare, dog bites causing critical injuries aren't.

The problem with all this talk about how stupid people shouldn't be able to own dogs that kill people is that those same people are just going to kill other people anyway by being allowed to own other things:
>bikes
>cars
>firearms

Every retard I know who owns an uncontrollable pit bull or mastiff is the same kind of retard to pullout from a junction without looking in an SUV.
>>
>>5136052
A man with a pitbull AND a gun will be able to shoot somebody, and his dog will be able to kill somebody else.
But without the dog, his rate of killing people will be lowered permanently. His hands can only hold so many guns at a time, but there is no number to how many baby-eating dogs he wants.

Even if he had 70 thousand guns, he can only use one at a time.
>>
>>5135841
Except the owners of these dogs are often lower IQ than the dog itself. They're the kind that, when faced with an officer pointing a gun at them, will go into attack mode and charge the officer.

If you think the threat of future punishment works you need more familiarity with this kind of person. Anything beyond 5 seconds in the future doesn't exist to them, they cannot understand that they will go to prison because that "him" is further than 5 seconds into the future and therefore a completely different and unrelated person in his mind.

Thx, that point wasn't clear.
