I agree with what you're saying. It's typically not the dog but the owners that are the problem. Though sometimes it is the dog.
Personally, I don't like the idea of people owning huge dogs that are capable of doing lots of damage but realize there are too many grey areas with mixed breeds to make banning really possible. I so think dog ownership should come with training. I see too many people letting their dogs jump on others with the excuse "He's friendly and is just checking you out."
Maybe reduced licensing fees if you can show proof of training?

This, there needs to be specialized liscensing for owners of large breed dogs that can do damage. They should have mandatory training, socializing and regular mental health checks.
