Please help me clear up some confusion. I know there are (English) Bull Terriers (like General Patton had) and Staffordshire Bull Terriers -- and these are different breeds. Is either one of these considered a "Pit Bull"? In DeKalb County (part of Atlanta) it is now illegal to own a pitbull, a Bull Terrier, or a Staffordshire Bull, and there's a bill pending in the Georgia legislature to outlaw all three breeds in the entire state.
Even if pit bulls are getting painted with too broad a brush, aren't legislators going way overboard by including Bull Terriers?
