Maryland court finds pit bulls are 'inherently dangerous'

70. This is not even within a cab ride of being true

According to this site: http://www.struckbylightning.org/stats2010.cfm , 28 people were killed by lightening in 2010 and 241 were injured. The American Humane Association estimates 4.7 million people are bitten by dogs each year and 800,000 of those required medical care. http://www.americanhumane.org/animals/stop-animal-abuse/fact-sheets/dog-bites.html

Furthermore your argument is kinda like apples and oranges since lightening can't be regulated, while pet ownership can.

For the record, I'm not in favor of breed specific laws because I think there's better ways of handling the problem, but I do think government can and should do something about the problem, which is significant.
