Dogs kill about 30-50 people in the U.S. every year.

Intimate partner gun violence alone leads to about 700 women being killed every year.

So by your logic, if you’re a woman and your partner has a gun, and is walking towards you and you can’t clearly tell that they don’t have a gun on them, “they just want to give you a kiss before leaving home” isn’t an argument. They’re vermin that can kill you and you’re absolutely allowed to play it safe, defend yourself and shoot them.

Yes, that sounds appropriate and proportional to me, given the massive danger posed to (mostly) women by mostly (men) regarding domestic violence.

Cars kill 40,000 people I just shoot for the tires though.

I think better analogy would be a drunken partner, loudly shouting "i will cut you", and chasing you with a knife, when you try to run away.

But you are forgetting one major thing: dogs are not people!
