True, change a single strand of DNA, whatever the exact scientific term for that is and the weapon dog people are just like the gun people when we try to legislate out a category of non living weapons
The firearm analogy never carries any weight because an inanimate object does not hurt anyone unless used improperly.
A living breathing animal that is mobile can get loose and harm someone on it's own.
My son when he was 17 brought home this pit- he was in a cage thing in the yard and my little grand 4/5 went out to play in the yard. We told him stay away from the dog - well he went and poked the dog with a small stick or something and the dog jumped the gate and grabbed him by his head - my daughter in law was on her way to check on him anyway and grabbed a broom and hit the dog and he released the boy - when I got home - the boy had stitches and I immediately took the dog to the shelter. Out of my house ! They settled for other types of dogs since. My grand now, 23 still has the bite marks. No - pits not needed.
I'm sorry that happened to your grandson. This is one reason I don't do pit bulls. I don't care for dogs in general, but some breeds scare me more than others. I can deal with a husky or a malamute. A pit bull, never ,never, never. They are scary and have an inherent aggressive streak. I've been chased by a pit bull. You have to have a particular temperament to deal with a pit bull.

Please don't let the pitbull turn you against other breeds. On page 1 of the thread, I put on pictures of my corgis and big white dog. Mystery breed. They are the most gentle and loving dogs you will ever meet.
Personally, I'd like nothing more than for breeds like the pitbull and rottweiler to go extinct.
The pit bull can turn in a minute.. some breeds do . I don't like dobermans either. A neighbor always walked his doberman and one day the dog turned on him on the street . Certain breeds can be very dangerous.

Thank. You.
I have never feared anyone who has a firearm on them. In some cases I see the firearm and think "can I shoot that thing?". Never feared a gun user. I've feared pit bulls. A gun in the right hands is of no fear with me. A pit bull is inherently aggressive, and when loose, who knows what's next. A gun in the hands of competent, law-abiding human being, no problem. Any kind of weapon in the hands of a criminal, big problem. A pit bull on its own, inherently dangerous.

Labs don't scare me, neither do malamutes or huskies.
I too would like to see breeds like the pit bull and the rottweiler to go extinct. Dobermans too. Those breeds are meant for violence.
So happy that I live in Denver where you cannot have a pit bull.
