Are you saying that banning a specific breed doesn't reduce attacks by that specific breed?
Sure one can probably argue that banning a breed doesn't reduce dog bites overall. I could believe that. I don't see how a properly enforced ban on pitbulls doesn't reduce pitbull attacks considering there shouldn't be any pitbulls in the city?
The point of a breed ban on Pitbulls is that their power is so much more significant and damaging that there's no reason to allow them to be bred. There's no benefit to allowing Pitbulls. Anything you can get from a pitbull, you can get from a less powerful breed.
