Yes!!
Yep.
Yes. The folks in the towns know what’s best for them.
Allowing a bunch of bureaucrats to force dangerous animals onto localities who don’t want them is a paradigm of what’s wrong with this country.
Yes, when I see people walking pit bulls in the park I walk in a different direction or I look for the nearest tree to climb. I just don’t understand the fascination with pit bulls, but then again I don’t understand a lot about what is happening in the world lately.
I think cities should be able to pass such ordinances, and then the citizens of that city should be free to voice their opinions via their votes for future councilmembers and such.
My big concern would be for existing dog owners and whether there would be a grandfather exception to the ordinance. Not very fair to force existing dog owners to make a decision to move or give up a dog they had from before the change.
I don’t think the state should get involved one way or the other unless there is some direct violation of the state constitution.
Yes. Since they are not under control of an owner, they have instincts/minds of their own, they cannot be considered “arms” as in keep and bear arms.
So, the city can, at a minimum, ban unleashed pit bulls.
Tattoos and pit bull ownership — it’s how the lower classes identify themselves to the rest of us.
In that sense they’re doing us a favor.
Put another way, guns don't have free will.
Correct
Pit Bulls are KILLERS and that is why dog pounds are FULL of them. Even their OWNERS become afraid of them, especially when they get older and cranky.
A lot of blacks own pit bulls. I know drug dealers like them.
Bloomberg and crew would love to have this ability to regulate the lives of more Americans.
I know some people who have them and they are very well behaved. That said, hell yes.
“Even their OWNERS become afraid of them, especially when they get older and cranky.”
I think my children would describe me like that.
No, but towns should have the right to allow them to be shot on sight by armed citizens.
That should solve the problem.
No - it's just more Big Government run amuck. Replace "pit bulls" with "guns" and the arguments are the same.
