“I own dogs, but I believe pit bulls should be outlawed. It killed that woman’s little terrier, think what it could do to a toddler. Pit bulls have killed adults or severely injured them numerous times. All this stuff about “if you raise them right they’re not violent” may be true, or may not, but it seems people who choose pit bulls as pets are the very same types not inclined to raise them right or keep them restrained. Therefore for the public safety, a breed that is proven to be dangerous should be illegal.

I just don’t understand the point of one. Are most bad? No. But why own something with that kind of destructive power when there are so many other breeds out there that can provide you companionship without the ability to kill neighbors, your kids, other dogs, etc, etc. These things are dangerous animals. They have amazingly powerful jaws and are bred to not quit.
I don’t understand the point of barbecue pits.
They’re dangerous and smelly, but I would never try to infringe on the rights of my neighbor to own and operate one.
Exactly the point I make about alcohol, there are so many other drinks out there that are safe and just as tasty. There is no rational reason for not banning a substance that causes 1000's of deaths, countless disfigurements, family violence, crime, etc, etc. Are there responsible drinkers out there? maybe, but why take the chance of consuming something that taken even in small quantities impairs judgement and coordination. People can not be trusted to act responsibly when consuming alcohol and it's just not worth the risk to the rest of us. Safety trumps individual liberty every time.
