For the record i avoid pitbulls if i can but i think a breed ban is a slippery slope, you have to wonder where will it stop? Im not trying to be an alarmist or anything but how long after pitbulls are banned until another breed bites a kid and someone else bangs the drum loud enough for that breed to banned and so on and so on.
Obviously steps have to be taken but why cant you pass laws about muzzles outside of the home, outrageous licensing fees for certain breeds and extreme fines for violations with certain breeds. All measures should be taken first before a breed ban is resorted to IMO.
