Here's a fun game. Take the first two paragraphs of the article and replace "pit bulls" and associated text with similar text that illuminates the ridiculous arguments of the pro - pit bull crowd. See below.

Artificially-created deadly asps may be one of the most controversial breeds around, but they are also one of the most misunderstood by the public, snake experts said Friday in the wake of the fatal biting of a 12-year-old boy in San Francisco.

If bred and trained properly, artificially-created deadly asps can be wonderful pets, experts said. If there is a lack of stability, though, they have the proclivity and ability to inflict serious damage.

Ridiculous arguments? Spare me, not too many people abuse Shepards or Kurt Russell Terriers so they turn into killing machines.

Instead of replacing 'pit bulls' with Asps, how about replacing them with a 9mm?

Does that make sense? You shouldn't leave a loaded gun or a loaded pit around small children. I'd be willing to bet money the dog that killed that kid was more than just a pet.

When can I own one of these?

After all, it's not the breed. It's the owner.
