> You have no idea what you are talking about. There are dog ban breeds across this country and in Europe.
Do you live in one of those places? If so, I suggest you live elsewhere if it's that important to you. Consider:
I'm not overly concerned because some states, or some cities within states, or some European countries, ban certain breeds of dogs. Did you know that England has firearm bans? Does that mean they're coming for my guns? No, I live in Upstate NY. For a reason.
In some places, there are laws restricting whether you can have a rusted-out car up on blocks in the front yard. But not where I live, in an unzoned, rural area.
I choose not to live in a neighborhood where the local association restricts my right to have foot-tall weeds in my yard. Does the fact that others live in more restrictive neighborhoods limit _my_ freedom? No.
What I meant by "No one is coming after your dog" was, you have the freedom to choose where you live, and can pick a place based on the prevailing local and state laws -- that's a concept central to the US Constitution. If you live in a place that does not allow your kind of dog, and it matters to you, you should lobby for a change in the law, or move.
You're demanding that there be no restrictions on dog breeds _anywhere_. That's not reasonable, any more so than me demanding the right to keep a rusted-out hulk in a manicured-lawn gated community in Reston, VA. Ummm, nope.

Well said!
