The knee jerk reaction is the same as when a gun tragedy happens. Ban the gun or in this case ban the protective breed of dog. Disarm the population in any way possible so we will be dependent on police protection.

Right, 'cuz guns can sprout legs and roam around independently...shooting anyone in their way...

I am leery of pit bulls myself but not because of the dogs themselves but because of the people who often own them. Banning a particular breed of dog won’t stop people from breeding aggressive fighting dogs. If all the pit bulls were eleminated they would find aggressive poodles that were willing to fight and in a few canine generations we would be hearing about vicious poodle attacks.
