If you are saying that a cat is equal to a baby, then there is really is no reason to continue a conversation.
Having a gun DOES make you more likely to shoot someone, then not having a gun, its sort of a prerequisite.
A lot of people kill animals, and not all of them are killers. YOU just don't hear about them because... why would you? It isn't until after they catch a killer that they like to look back and go why, why, and where there any signs?

First, to many people a pet is part of the family as much as a child. So, to have someone beat and murder it is like having a member of your family beaten and then murdered. It's common for people to have feelings for an animal that they've lived with for 12 years -- to not would be odd, or indicative of other problems. If you can't understand that very basic concept, then there is really no reason to continue a conversation.
Having a gun does not make you significantly more likely to kill someone. Having a murderous mindset does. Comparing having a gun to something as awful as beating and then killing a defenseless animal astounds me. I have a gun, knife, hatchet, and claw hammer but I have absolutely no desire to beat and kill my dog. It takes someone very twisted to do so, and it is definitely a warning sign that should be acknowledged.
