41. The ban you seek won't solve the problem you're concerned about.
Instead, it will take perfectly gentle & calm family members from loving homes and it will murder them without regard to reason and sanity.

Right now, an animal you have never met & have no experience with - yet characterize out-of-hand as "vicious" and "dangerous" - is trying to get my attention. (She's whining & licking my toes because she wants to get up on the sofa to snuggle with me, but I'm ignoring her.) In your fear-based fantasy world, she's liable to jump up on top of me & rip my throat out at any moment. In experience-based reality, she's more likely to be distracted by a bug crawling by (and fail miserably at killing it).

Pit bulls are more prone to whining & licking toes than they are to ripping throats out.
