Fair enough, you can then move onto the next example of street-legal cars. Not sure what all the parameters are that go into that, but top speed would certainly be one of them.

Either way, the point is there are separate laws/requirements for different types of vehicles, mostly based around how difficult/dangerous they are to drive. And so there's no reason why certain types of dogs couldn't have restrictive laws for owning them. Not all out banning them, but mandated training and testing in order to own one seems reasonable. Have all pit-bull (and other high-risk breeds) breeders require government registration and tagging so that any dog they sell can be tracked.

All of those costs can be reflected in the price of registering a high-risk animal.
