And Derk, I researched a bit just to refresh what I've seen/heard before. I found sources saying the "bad gene" thing about pit bulls but I found sources that said otherwise. Thing is, the sources I found saying otherwise had a lot more documented and trustworthy sources than the "bad gene" sources.
I can't say that there's actually a "gene" making pitbulls aggressive. But, historicly people bred aggressive dogs for their aggressive characteristics. That's really what I'm getting at. (And that's the worst part, too, cause like I said, I think the vast majority of dogs are happy and loving animals)
I remember reading about Georgia proposing a blanket ban, but I don't know if it passed. 
And of course, I'll reiterate that what the public hears or sees on the news is always the bad stuff. You'll never hear a nation-wide news story about a pitbull pulling a drowning kid out of a pool...the media wont let us hear it.
