I thought I made my point very well. They are dangerous. But so are dozens of other breeds.

To go back to the gun relation.
Its legal to own certain guns.

However its illegal to own certain guns as well.

Why? Because certain guns are more dangerous than others.

Same with dogs. Are there lots of dangerous breeds? Yes. Are pitbulls on another level of dangerous compared to others? Yes.

In dutchs story of his brother being bit by a german shepherd it simply bit his hand and ****ed up his hand...... had that german shepherd been a pit instead, then its likely he gets more than a bite on the hand
 
I was bit by a red healer once on the forearm. Small puncture wound that didnt require stitches.

Thank god it wasnt a pitbull because there is a huge difference in the amount of damage that a healer is likely to dish out vs what a pitbull would be likely to have done to me.

The main reason most people get pitbulls is because they are the best at stopping intruders if someone was to be a threat to your home or family.
Why are they the best at this particular job? Could it be that they have the potential to be more dangerous than all other breeds?

Of course they do. It is simply genetics. They were bred to be so.

I see the point that trout makes on let each city decide for themselves. Like many issues I simply see this as one that many people will be unhappy no matter the outcome.

One could argue that if a city bans them it is not saying that you cannot own one. You just cannot own one and have it in town. Keep it beyond the city limits or move away. Both viable options.

I still think increased potential penalties would help to decrease irresponsible owners.

Ok, lets go back to the gun thing. Certain types of guns are illegal because they're more dangerous. I get that.

But those guns still exist. They're still being made, and you can get a lot of them if you get special licensing. Why not the same here?

I dont disagree.

I know nothing about whay should be done as far as the law is concerned.

Im only saying that pitbulls are more dangerous which you and dutch seem to disagree with.

But we're not comparing pitbull and chihuahua. We're comparing pitbull and doberman. Pitbull and chow chow.

Good point.

Statistics still show pits to be more dangerous though no matter how you cut it
