And that is precisely the reason that I don't let my dog have a gun.

The only thing that stops a bad dog with a gun is a good dog with a gun.

All dogs go to heaven. Even those with guns.

My dog is a fucking libertarian, I can't take his gun, so I lightened the trigger on my Glock for the cat. Cats got my back.

Bruh. Can't believe you fell for that. Oldest cat trick in the book. Best don't be late with those treats!

The government is coming for your dogs guns!!!

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Don't be so dramatic, they just want to make sure your dog passed a mental health assessment and has completed a gun safety course. Guns are far too prevalent in dog culture for the government to just swoop on in and take them all. 🙄

Mental health assessments are weaponized against black and brown labs.
