I don’t think I’m being unreasonable. There is no constitutional right to keep a pit bull, and I value human life more than pit bulls.

Define “pit bull”. If you define it as Staffordshire terriers, please give a verified, documented case of an AKC registered Staffordshire Bull Terrier causing the death of a human being in the United States.

Breed-specific legislation is opposed by the AKC, the American Veterinary Medical Association, the National Animal Control Association, the ASPCA, and a host of national animal welfare organizations that have studied the issue and recognize that targeting breeds simply does not work.

In some instances, breed-specific laws have been overturned on constitutional grounds. Because proper identification of what dogs would be included is difficult or impossible, the law may be deemed unconstitutionally vague. It may also be found to involve the taking of property without due process.
