Pit bulls are actually gentle loving family members when raised in a loving environment with proper socialization. It is the stigma of their build and past that seems to attract douchebag owners. If a border collie had a tough guy stigma you would see a lot more border collie attacks due to idiots getting them purely for image.
In my opinion these dogs are the victims of negligent and abusive owners and its the owners that deserve the most punishment.
Instead of banning pit bulls there should be a course or license no different than owning a hand gun. You should have to display knowledge and ability to properly handle and care for the animal.
