Once we're sufficiently cowed to allow it. Like those faggoty Brits are now. But it isn't going to be within the next few years.
And banning a certain breed of dogs because they have a powerful bite is akin to banning all people of African American decent because so many of them are violent dangerous criminals. Wow. What an idea. All this nonsense is making me sick. And worse are those wimps who would let our government take away our rights.
I'm seeing the breed issue as very similar to the types of weapons that are now banned in most places (I thought machine guns were illegal, but one of our local weapon shops sells them, so I guess not?) anyway, it makes sense to me. There are plenty of different types of guns out there that people can buy, which are totally sufficient to hunt with or protect their homes, or even for personal protection. No one NEEDS a machine gun unless they're going to war. The same with certain breeds of dog.
The sad fact is, people are not SMART enough to live without government control. If people were smart and responsible, they could be trusted to own any type of weapon they might want. If people were smart and responsible, we wouldn't NEED to have laws in place to TELL people how to behave. Since that isn't the case, and since that problem is only getting worse over time, we do need laws and restrictions to keep idiots from letting their irresponsibility destroy the lives of everyone else.
It would be great if there were a way to only put restrictions on the people who needed them, but I can't see that as being a possible scenario.
