A pit bull is a dog breed with a reputation for being vicious. The tattoo is showing the grim reaper figure taking a dog for a walk.

'Mindset' refers to the way he thinks/his ideals, so 'vanished mindset' means he no longer thinks the same way. That attitude has disappeared.
The tattoo on his arm of the grim reaper, a figure signifying death, is a reminder of the way he used to think, when it was important for him to own a gun. I'm not sure what the significance of the pit bull is, but I'm sure someone else will be able to explain it.
