And the overwhelming majority of the millions of Pit Bulls, Pit mixes and dogs in general live their lives and die without harming a single human. The same argument that you try to make about irresponsible gun owners is the same one I can say about dog owners. Responsible owners don't have those kind of problems with their dogs.

Breed Specific Legislation has been proven time and time again to be a waste of resources, money and does not work to prevent serious dog bites. Every professional organization that seriously works with canines does not agree to it. That time would be better spent educating owners on dog training and safety, enforcing leash laws, giving incentives to folks for spaying/neutering their animals and requiring breeders to be licensed. If you think a 40 lbs Pit Bull is scary wait until you find out what a Central Asian Ovcharka is and people start to overbreed them. Instead if moving the goalposts to whatever breed looks scary that time would be better spent educating the public on proper dog management, the former never approaches the root of the problem which is irresponsible ownership.

Nope. We need to eliminate a number of breeds for a number of reasons and we have the power and responsibility to do so since we brought them into this world. Both guns and pets need to be restricted because of irresponsible people. Is not breeding certain domestic animals truly more ridiculous than trying to make the entire human race less stupid? Should we or should we not allow people to breed bears that easily kill anyone if they have one bad day or a bad owners? Sounds like letting everyone own nuclear missile launchers because the majority are probably responsible enough to respect their power.
