Unless said item is an imminent, absolute danger to a person other than yourself, restrictions should not exist.
Dangerous, carnivorous animals are waaaayyyy more dangerous to your neighbors than fast cars, booze, ******, crack, guns, cigarettes and pure nicotine.
Substances dont attack people, fast cars arent guaranteed to wreck, guns dont pull their own triggers, but pet tigers, lions, polar bears, and cobras have a primary function in life and unmistakable intent to kill and only to kill. Everything else is deadly only if used improperly or negligently.
However, Id gladly support the free ownership of dangerous animals if all other restrictions were dropped.
All due respect rocket puppy, many of us are sick of being lumped in with simpletons who need a governing body to legislate for their safety. Personal knowledge, responsibility, and accountability are the only ways to truly be safe. Restrictions are meant to keep the dullards intact, silent, and obedient, at the cost of infringing upon everyone else.
