I have yet to see a pit bull that wasn't implicitly being wielded by its owner as a weapon.

You a shut in? I ask because you obviously don't get out much. These dogs have been around since out country was first immigrated to. Teddy Rosevelt owned an APBT, took it with him all the time, you know to bite foriegn dignitaries and such when it was out of control.

And as I live in Manhattan, I've seen a lot of them.

So living in Manhattan makes you what...the all seeing, all knowing, judge of something like 4 million dogs? You sir, are high.

So you with the one possibly-non-deranged pit bull in existence in your backyard can huff and puff till you turn purple, but it doesn't change the truth.

LOL, the truth is that more people are bitten by Jack Russel Terriers than by Pit Bulls, hell, more people are bitten by humans than by all dog breeds combined.

Pit bulls were responsible for 60 deaths between 1979 and 1996. The next closest was Rottweiler with 29, then German Shepard with 19, then Husky with 14, then Malamute with 12, then Dobe with 8...

Numbers, please. I've actually seen the numbers, and they completely contradict what you say.
