    While I agree with you about breed bans, your analogy towards the end of your post is a bit strained. People, of all races, are not breeds. They are evolutionary accidents. Breeding requires human intervention. The problem with the bully breeds goes a ways back to when the first guy who enjoyed gambling on dog fighting decided to deliberately breed dogs that were "game."
