As long as there are owners out there that have no idea how to raise a dog like a pitbull, politicians will have more and more reason to push their agenda. I have a rotti myself and would trust leaving her alone with my two younger daughters, but that's after LOTS of training when she was young. Certain (if not all) dogs, raised untrained can be a threat to society. Owners who decide to purchase these dogs and not take the time and effort to train them properly is akin to some guy purchasing a handgun and not taking a class on firearm safety.
The majority of rottis, pitbulls, akidas, and mastiffs I have seen have been extremely well trained, but all it takes is one clueless owner to ruin it for the rest of them.
