I dont get why people use level of aggression to defend owning pit bulls. That was never the argument. Sure pit bulls can be less aggressive. The problem is what happens when they actually are aggressive. They become hard to control and can do serious damage. That is the problem.

Its like the difference between a kid playing with a fake knife and a really knife. They are both easy to control but one can do far more damage if you lose control

Well if we're going to judge dogs by what they could potentially do then there are dozens of breeds that are larger and far more powerful than Pit Bulls, and most of them are traditional guardian breeds with human aggression bred in. It's just that people don't own those breeds as much as Pits so they're nowhere near as numerous. Any dog over a certain size has the capacity to do damage, everybody may as well have Pugs if we're worried about potential here. The first face transplant was the result of a Lab attack.
