I feel like if your dog shoots you thats your own damn fault.

Not in US. In US gun owners are never responsible for what happens with their guns. It can be the kid's fault, the dog's fault or even fault of the gun itself but it's never the gun owner's fault.

You're right, I forgot about the Dick Cheney rule.

Remember kids, when you're a powerful politician and you shoot your friend in the face, remember to drag your friend and his family around on a PR campaign so they can apologize to you for the time you shot them.

You wouldn't just do that! Go on the internet and lie!

This was a scene in Plague Dogs that I thought was super unrealistic, a dog steps on a gun, which discharges into a man, and people blame the dog as if he shot the man on purpose. I thought it couldn't happen in real life.
