The creature above is far safer than a firearm, except perhaps to a criminal. With this dog, burglars (many of them rapists) are meat. It can read people for bad intentions, and it knows who does not belong where by scent.
That is a typical liberal, sacrifice a person or an animal for their benefit. These days that would probably get you sued by the animal rights people.
As a practical manner, some of us live in places too small for a dog of useful size. Dogs are pretty high maintenance and there are a great many places that won't allow you to take a dog. Come to think of it, many apartment buildings will not let you keep a dog. In that case I find a hand cannon to be quite useful and necessary.
As for the suicides, they will just find another even messier and more painful way to take themselves out. A tragedy to be sure but they are only a threat to themselves.

If one rejects laissez faire on account of man's fallibility and moral weakness, one must for the same reason also reject every kind of government action. -- Ludwig von Mises
