Completely agreed. I was on BOD for our County ‘dog pound’ fundraising org for many years. Learned that first generation Mexican-Americans often who lived rurally there, usually had zero public safety (police) protections. So pit bulls were chained up outside to ‘protect themselves and their property.’ Chihuahuas meantime were their ‘family pets.’

Changing that paradigm is vastly more effective than yet more government intervention. Educate don’t (over) regulate as often as possible.

A surprisingly insightful and engaging analysis from someone who normally posts humor.

Question is, why do you want to "pass a law" and cut the bureaucrats out? Those people need jobs! They have families! They have to pay for kibble for their (exempt) pit bulls!

But yeah, it's a silly notion, for all the reasons you cite and probably more.

Yeah, Matt Walsh is amazing on a lot of stuff like uncompromisingly pushing back on the insanity of transgenderism, but I think sometimes he gets a big head and just starts saying whatever comes into his head without thinking about it too much. Or maybe that's just his "schtick" and he's speaking tongue-in-cheek. Hard to tell sometimes, he has a very dry sense of humor.

Nah PitBulls or any kind of dog should not be banned have YOU EVER CONSIDER THAT ITS IS A REFLECTION OF YOU ON HOW YOU TREAT YOUR ANIMALS OR OTHER PEOPLE YALL NEED TO GET IT TOGETHER YOU GUYS ARE ACTUALLY STUPID FOR THINKING THEY SHOULD GET ALL THESE DOGS KILLED JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO ACTUALLY TAKE CARE OF THESE "DANGEROUS" ANIMALS for what reason because all think its the dogs fault that its acting that way well u guys are wrong. They all wanna say that all these animals are dangerous but they aren't unless you make them dangerous bc my pitbulls arent they are the most sweetest animals and that's bc we treat them right unlike all you guys treating your animals with disrespect and MAYBE that's why they are becoming "DANGEROUS" y'all actually need to grow tf up bc y'all are acting stupid. If it was the other dogs beside PitBulls, American bulldogs, Rottweilers, Mastiffs, Dalmations, Chows Chows, German Shepherd and Doberman Pinschers, y'all be acting like its the end of the world because they are getting ride of the other dogs that aren't "DANGEROUS" well new flash ALL ANIMALS are dangerous if you make them even a fucking bird can be dangerous

States and municipalities could ban the sale of dangerous breeds, as defined by DNA. But, the penalty would have to be a civil fine and (uninsurable) strict liability, not putting down the dog, unless the dog’s behavior warrants it (we already have a standard for that).

I suppose I could also support criminal negligence charges in cases such as the recent death, but again, we already have laws for that.
