A co-worker who has LOTS of dogs on her farm, told me use google. She said to google "pit bull attacks" "GSD attacks" "Rottwieler" attacks, and "Chow attacks" and then click on Images.
Looks like google images has me convinced of the problematic nature of pit bulls (and their idiotic owners) on unprovoked attacks on innocent, ordinary citizens. Pit bulls are NOT the same analogy to assault rifles in the "gun culture"...they are more like land mines IMHO.
Those are some great suggestions. I agree with your analogy too.
It seems to me that the owners are often to blame for not using good common sense too.
Still, what you have here is a an animal that is closer to being wild than some people would like to admit. They seem to kill for sport too. They aren’t doing it because they are hungry, like animals in the wild do.
Do you have any scientific evidence that this breed is more dangerous than others?
Google images is not a scientific source, BTW.

Animal control officers across the country have told the ASPCA that when they alert the media to a dog attack, news outlets respond that they have no interest in reporting on the incident unless it involved a pit bull. The ASPCA states that along with over-reporting, false reporting is a major contributor to public perceptions about the breed.[29]
You do understand that if the media wants the public to believe you're bad, they will make sure you get bad press, right? And of course, you wouldn't be someone who would fall for that, would you?
