Ban PitBulls
Dog bite severity varies by the breed of dog, and studies have found that pit bull–type dogs have both a high rate of reported bites and a high rate of severe injuries, compared to other non–pit bull–type dogs.
Pit bull–type dogs are extensively used in the United States for dogfighting, a practice that has continued despite being outlawed. Several nations and jurisdictions restrict the ownership of pit bull–type dogs through breed-specific legislation.
The sole goal for this comm is to ban pit bulls from every jurisdiction and to treat the remaining ones with respect while every caretaker follows the required safety precautions to keep everyone safe. Dog breeds with documented health issues should also be prevented from being forcibly bred into this world.
Rules:
-
Keep it civil.
-
No advocating for violence.
-
No pit bull advocate gaslighting. Though good faith debates are allowed.

And then compare them to people saved by seat belts. You're free to not wear yours if you think it's a good idea, I'll continue wearing mine.
So then compare them to people not mauled by dogs?
This is a pure bias argument and you just made my point.
???
Seatbelts are a net positive in lives saved. Non-working dogs are not.
Are you legitimately saying that dogs generally are not a net positive for humans?
Or do I need to pull the statement back to “cars” so it tracks with you?
We don’t NEED cars, in fact 100% of car deaths involve them.
Arguing here appears pointless. Onlookers can see what's correct and neither of us is going to change their mind.
