No, I think that ALL dogs have the potential to be vicious, and attack. However, some breeds can do a lot more damage than others. The statistics prove that. Also, Pit Bulls are a lot more likely to be involved in a fatal mauling than say a labrador -- the statistics also prove that.

If we can't expect the parents of children to always be good parents, why do you think that the parents of Pit Bulls will always be good parents? Go back to my simile, I think it works on a lot of levels:

Pit Bulls are to Pomeranians as Sawed-off shotguns are to nail clippers.

Both weapons and both dogs can be safe or dangerous depending on who wields them. However, one weapon, and one dog are a LOT more capable of doing serious damage.

Also, from a regulatory standpoint, it is illegal to own assault weapons, or altered weapons that are too dangerous in many communities. Why should we not do the same for animals when there is a real danger there?
