[QUOTE="benjamin-benjamin, post: 2349327, member: 743"] the other problem is pit bull is not technically a "breed". other cities that have done BSL, when they asked cops to identify pit bulls by pictures, they were often wrong, and disagreed... so how do you effectively ban a breed that doesn't exist?
