“... but solves nothing since bad people will abuse other breeds.”
You don't have to abuse pit bulls for them to be dangerous. Abusing them might make them more aggressive and more likely to attack people, but even well loved pit bulls have been known to maul people.
I'm not going to continue with this conversation. I have too much work to do and I really could care less about this issue. I don't like pit bulls. They are dangerous animals and it wouldn't bother me if there were strict laws passed regulating how these animals are kept or banning them outright. That's no different to me than laws that keep people from having pet lions and tigers and alligators. You can have a kitty cat, but you can't have a pet lion in your home. I don't have a problem with that. If you want to call me a statist, I don't care. I don't have enough time or interest to argue about this further. Have a nice day.
Do you like semi-automatic pistols? Do you care about the second amendment? To help you avoid wasting more of your valuable time, I would recommend the following: don't use your emotions to decide what government control is ok. You may have noticed a recent spate of media stories about shootings. Those are designed to whip up public emotion in preparation for gun ban legislation. How could anyone be against common sense bans of dangerous guns? All rhetorical questions of course, no need to answer.
