I don't understand why a man that beats a home invader to death is a hero, but a pitbull that attacks a home invader is a threat?

If your stance against pitbulls is that there's no way to ensure the owners are responsible, than all dogs should be banned, because all dogs are capable of attacking. I've personally been attacked several times, and all but one attack was by small breeds, Miniature Pinscher, toy poodle, ####zu, and a maltese. The one large breed was a German Shepard Akita cross, so based on my personal experience, I should be out trying to ban those breeds. In reality, the issue with all of them, was lack of training.

Pretty sure the reason people are getting pissed off about these dogs is that they are attacking other dogs at dog parks, and ripping off kids' faces arbitrarily.

Get your head out of the sand.
