You have yet to refute a single, simple study that says pit bulls are disportionately responsible for morbitiy rates and medical costs/severity of attacks. THAT does not make me ignorant and naive and uneducated. That suggests YOU are in denial of the facts.

I'm not saying that everyone should own a pit bull as a matter of fact I don't think the type of person that you are describing should own any animal, as I have said before dogs are not fashion accessories. If you look at dog attacks as a whole the numbers have not changed very much over the years what have changed is the types of dogs doing the attacks relative to what the popular breed is at the time. In the 70's German Shepherds were the prominent dog, in the 80's dobies and rotties were more prominent etc. so you would see a higher number of attacks of those dogs. Banning a specific breed will not prevent dog attacks
