    No, you said we should treat them like guns, in the UK very few people are allowed to keep guns so I was highlighting that it’s a silly analogy that doesn’t work in this country.

      Oh boy. If you read what I wrote, you would understand the analogy ends at ‘needs a license.’ The license depends on ‘demonstrate that they would be good dog owners, and provide evidence of training or dog gets confiscated.’ People need a license to drive a car, by demonstrating that they would be good car drivers. Use that analogy instead if you like.

        Who’s paying for and staffing the infrastructure to manage this in our already understaffed and underfunded public sector? There’s 12 million dogs already in the UK, not factoring new pet owners. That’s a huge undertaking. Easier to ban the breeds that are going to cause the most issues if not properly trained and managed than make all pet ownera have to be licensed.
