What business is it of yours what kind of dog someone owns? Do you agree with "selective" gun bans as well? Maybe we should ban all "assault rifles." In one day assault rifles killed more people than Pit Bulls killed in a year.

We live in a free society. One of the prices we pay for that privilege is the risk that at any time we might be killed by some nut...or in this case some nut's dog.

We have ways to punish those who break the law but those punishments never raise the dead. The murdered remain murdered. Again it is the price we pay for freedom.

It is not your's nor the government's business what breed of dog someone owns unless that dog injures someone. Then the law should step in and inflict punishment on the law breaker as it has in this case.

You want to live in a controlled society, go live in England or France...see how you like living in slavery to the state.

If I use a gun in a manner that gets someone killed, or if I leave a gun sitting around so that some innocent child gets hurt because of my negligence then I am going to prison.
Why should keeping a dog that is known to kill and maim be any different? If your pit bull gets out and kills someone then you go to prison.
I keep my firearms either on my person, with a proper CCW, or locked in a fire proof gun safe. Not one of my guns has ever “gotten out”, or taken any action by it's own decision.
There is a huge difference between pits and guns. Guns do not move on their own or react to instinctual drives. Pitt Bulls do. To try and make an analogy between an inanimate object and a living thinking animal is beyond all logic and common since. It doesn't work. If you choose to keep an animal that can, has, and will figure out how to escape it's confines and attack people then there has to be an added responsibility and criminal cost when it happens. Not one of my guns can ever escape or cause anyone any harm in any way without the assistance of a warm breathing body. A Pitt Bull is capable of this all by themselves. No comparison of the two meets any standard of logic, fact, or reality. If you really want to make a comparison between a Pitt Bull and a non living substance or object try comparing it to dynamite. It must be stored separate and remote from any structure, residence, or roadway. If the owner ignores it and it gets too old it can sit in storage and blow up all by itself. If the owner abuses it by dropping it or tossing it around it will sweat and becomes dangerous to handle and can even blow up all by itself. Dynamite has a lot more in common with pitt bulls than guns do. Even then dynamite must be kept in a locked metal structure located remote from any public property.
