[Conservative til I die]

Unfortunately, it seems there is an unhealthy attraction for pit bulls by individuals of low responsibility and even lower intellect.

I would also add that the sensational reporting of this by the press a) overestimates the problem and b) plays a part in feuling the problem.

A pit bull raised well by good people is no more dangerous than a .38 in the hands of a well trained, law abiding citizen.

"A pit bull raised well by good people is no more dangerous than a .38 in the hands of a well trained, law abiding citizen."

But a pit bull raised by bad people is far more dangerous than a .38 in the hands of bad people. Pit bulls are unpredictable. They don't just go off when their owners get angry. Their owners are always the most surprised, while everyone else just shakes their heads and says, "I told you so dummy."
