Of all folks, people who respect the rights of firearms, how can FReepers be so nanny-esc about Pit Bulls?

Your logic isn't sound. A gun sitting on the table isn't going to go off on its own. A pit bull lying on the floor might.

I'll post my standard comment. The only two legitimate reasons for owning a pit bull are 1)to protect your meth lab or 2)if you are in the dog fighting industry.

So when should you own a Rottweiler, Mastiff, or Rhodesian Ridgeback.... or have the been sufficiently gentrified into our culture?

Amen. I'll add my standard comment, if I might, directed at those who utter the dangerous false platitude:

It's the owner, not the breed.

Aimless, immature young man with a bad work ethic and a basset hound: No problem.
