    No. I don’t compare humans to animals that were specifically bred for aggression. But you do you.

      specifically bred for aggression

      This is wrong. Pit bull breeds were bred for gameness, the unrelenting will to “win” at all costs once engaged.

      I think it’s also important to highlight the specifically bred part of your comment. Pit bull breeds didn’t become this way naturally, people made them this way. It’s less of a dog problem than it is a people problem.

      Gameness could be bred out of these breeds the same way, but the change starts with people first.

      You’re just being disingenuous, his point was obvious. You could make the identical argument (and many morons have) that minority X dominates violent crime statistics, therefore minority X is inherently more violent and we should legislate minority X.

      It’s a dumb ass argument regardless of species.
