Yep. Even your Labs might nip someone under the exact wrong circumstances.

OTOH, it’s a lead pipe cinch they won’t maul a toddler to death.

Correct.

Sorry, but the nature of pit-bull-type “attacks” is just that - attacks, vs. “bites”. From what I’ve understood PBTs tend to truly “attack” - they get into it and don’t let go (like most terriers), literally. Relentless. As if their entire being is solely about killing. Other dogs tend to be more “bite once and get it over with”, or at least let up even if they do continue the “fight” - more about defense than about offense.

Regardless, I am solidly against banning so-called “pit bulls”. As living beings of great variance, dogs cannot be positively identified, including by so-called “experts” who often are as ignorant as anyone else. On that principle alone I won’t go along with banning a dog.
