Potentially bad dogs, but worse handguns
I am very sympathetic to this article, even though I think it glosses over the fact that there is a good reason that pit bulls are the dog of choice for drug dealers, dogfighting rings, and wannabe badasses.
All that being said, I find it absolutely absurd that any community would consider banning any type of dog as a way to curb violence. It's merely a politically expedient, band-aid solution; if these cities seriously wanted to curb violence, they should start with getting rid of handguns, not dogs.
