Dang... you blather on like a silly girl!

Your whole notion about responsible owners is a laugher. Is there such a thing as "responsible Blood Sport" dog ownership? Maybe if one was to keep it locked up and treated it like a loaded gun....but that goes against the sweet, loving and non human aggressive talking points.

I had an aquaintance who was a functioning alcoholic. He would show up to work each day on time and function perfectly. After work he would head straight for the bar, then eventually drive home drunk. He probably amassed 30,000 drunken driving miles before getting help. He never had a single fender bender, accident, nor DUI.

Why did he have to carry the burden and fear of driving of being a criminal when driving home each night? He was a good drunk driver apparently. Just because drunk drivers are 16 times more likely to be involved in a fatal accident, the so called "statist" made his behavior illegal.

It's the same damn reason the Pit Bullers have trouble with the insurance companies...ACTURIAL RISK. Yes many dogs bite, but the fighting breeds FINISH. It called Gameness. Look up the definition some time.

I think that Ontario dog was a Lab/Pit mix...According to the wife. Those genes are the gift that keeps on giving.

I answered you point-by-point and you commenced with an insult ... and then once again ignored the totally valid issues raised within my posts # 314 & 338 (among many others) and, as per usual failed to address the fact that there's clearly no accepted/binding (or possible) definition as to what exactly constitutes a 'pit bull' type dog.

Unlike my post #314, wherein recognized experts outline the problem & offer concrete recommendations as to what they believe will (general education coupled with specific case enforcement) & won't mitigate it ('breed ban' laws), you've once more offered up rambling, philosophical (as opposed to fact and/or solution based) advocacy for PETA's hysteria & ignorance driven 'kill 'em all & then announce what we next want banned' position.

As for "gameness" even this cat-owner is quite familiar with the term/concept.
However, I also well know that numerous - so far - unbanned true, recognized breeds with a like general reputation for attacks possess it as well & I'd gladly put my money on a Rottweiler or, especially, an Akita in any scrap with one of your imagined universal 'devil dogs'.

Given the minuscule number of dogs of any breed/type which ever attack humans, your drunk driver analogy is incredibly weak:
Much like stating that every man/woman is a potential rapist/prostitute merely because they have the necessary equipment - which similarly ignores positive socialization (as with dogs) and a host of other factors.
