Well, I think pit bulls can certainly be a menace to society. I think generally regulation should focus on consequences for decisions rather than regulation of decisions themselves.

When this is affecting the owners of the pitbulls I can understand this, but there are so many examples of these dogs going crazy in public and attacking both people and other animals that it's a difficult position to take.
That’s like saying we should only punish crack addicts that commit crimes rather than the act of smoking or selling crack. I mean sure, I’m sure there are “mostly peaceful” crack addicts but let’s get real.
Well, I do actually think we should only punish crack addicts who commit crimes. There are likely people who can use crack with discretion in a functional way, just like every other potentially addictive substance. Society needs to stop protecting individuals from their own choices. Committing suicide is functionally illegal in our society. If you don’t own your own life force, what DO you actually own or control? Are you comfortable being a slave to your society?
