Sure, but why stop at pitbulls. Let's ban Rottweilers, German Shepards and Dobermans also...and don't forget the Mastiffs and Rhodesian Ridgeback. I've also heard Jack Russell terriers are vicious as heck....

Except for the Rottweilers, the other dogs do not have anything close to the vicious nature of a Pittbull. Let's not take the argument to the extreme. In fact, let's stay on subject.

The subject is: Should Pittbulls be banned in neighborhoods? We can talk about little Jack Russell Terriers later.

Except for the Rottweilers, the other dogs do not have anything close to the vicious nature of a Pittbull.

But that is the problem. There are efforts underway to ban the dogs I listed (except for the Terriers). It's a slippery slope FRiend. How many dog bites occur in this country everyday and how many do you read about that don't involve PitBulls? I don't own PitBulls and frankly never will, but I do own Rottweilers and German shepards. Banning any breed will be a mistake.

"The subject is: Should SUV's be banned? We can talk about pickups and passenger sedans later."

The subject is: Should assault rifles be banned? We can talk about lever and bolt action rifles later."

The subject is: Should cigarette smoking be banned in public areas? We can talk about private residences later.

The subject is: Should we round up the Jews? We can talk about the Catholics, Gypsies, Blacks, later....

You'd think by now people would know a camel's nose under the tent when they saw one.
