There were two rottweilers across the street from me when I was a kid, and the dogs regularly stormed out of the neighbour's yard whenever they opened the gate to pull their car in or out.
THe dogs stormed us on many occasion, but this one time both jumped on my mother. My father got his pistol out and shot both dead on the spot. My mother had to get stitches in her arm and leg.
I had a friend with two rottweilers as well. They were damn sweet well-trained dogs with basically perfect behaviour. But one day one of them just for some reason attacked my sister as she was walking in the front door. Luckily we yanked the dog of her in time but he wanted to bite her.
These breeds were created to kill, and to be aggressive as hell. They are not suitable as pets, no matter how well trained they are.
I don't think exisiting dogs should be killed with a nationwide ban or anything, but they should be banned, and it should be illegal to breed them. Have all the pitbulls castrated, and then this will basically be the last generation of them. Same for rottweilers.
