And really, why can't people just make muzzle laws? They have leash laws (although cops often do a piss-poor job of enforcing them). So what's the problem with mandatory muzzling of pitbulls if people don't want to ban them? Heck, why not have it mandatory for ALL dogs to be muzzled? I, personally, wouldn't care if I had to muzzle my dogs. Why should I? So why haven't they thought of this? If some thugs think they're gonna be cool & not muzzle their dogs, then arrest them just as you would arrest someone with an unlicensed handgun. Those jerks with their pitbulls are just as bad as if they were walking around with loaded guns pointed at everyone on the street (except that they aren't even the ones usually holding the trigger... the dog is holding the trigger at its own discretion).
So arrest them & seize the dog if they won't muzzle it. That way, truly law-abiding citizens can keep their pitbulls & be responsible & not have to worry about pitbulls getting a bad rap, and the rest of the public doesn't have to worry about being attacked.
