I was actually mauled by a dog when I was 4. While I do think people that own pitbulls are basically retarded, I don't believe the feds can regulate it. I think the states could, but would prefer it not be regulated. However, I will and have shoot a fucking dog who attacks anyone I care about or my livestock or my own LGD. "Accidents" should be prosecuted as assault with a deadly weapon.

Your last sentence, exactly
1. Glad you're OK, even if there seems to be emotional scarring. Trauma be like that.
2. I am retarded.
3. Any jurisdiction can regulate what they want, enforcement is another story.
4. I welcome shooting of any animal that is attacking people or livestock.
5. My younger pit sunk teeth into the leg of someone that rode up on him on a dirt bike. No shaking or tearing, simple chomp and release. So the State should lock me in a cage for years. Sounds rational.
