I’m not a fan of breed-specific legislation, but I’m more amenable to breed-selective homeowner insurance[1].

Interestingly most people misunderstand what a “pit bull” is. There are a few very similar breeds:

  - American Pit Bull Terrier
  - Staffordshire Bull Terrier
  - American Staffordshire Terrier
  - American Bully

In my experience, most people don’t specify which they mean, so they don’t actually care about the “breed” (the bloodline), but care more about their intuition of a breed based only on visuals.

Another statistical problem is almost any mutt that looks vaguely like a terrier labeled a “Pitt bull type.”
