Thats how ridiculous banning pitbulls would be.
Suzzer (OP) is starting to get that...theres not much you can really do about this besides educating owners
I'm not really for banning pitbulls because I don't think they are THAT dangerous and I'm willing to live with some danger in the world, but a lot of dangerous things are and should be banned.
Can't you see that by saying the opposition position of banning pitbulls means the fish should be banned - you are saying that lions, tigers, and bull elephants in must must be allowed?
What if someone breeds a dog that is 10x as aggressive as any other dog and weighs 200lbs? Must that be legal?
It's not all or nothing. The question really is, are pitbulls too dangerous to be allowed to breed or out with people in public or w/e? That's it. There's no logical proof of right or wrong. You just have to weigh some people's interest vs. others.
My personal opinion is that despite pitbulls or other fighting dogs being MUCH more dangerous than most dogs, they aren't really that dangerous - not THAT many people are actually attacked considering how many such dogs there are and that it's a risk that should be allowed.
