It wouldn't make the dogs illegal, but might make people think twice about the responsibilities of owning such a dog.

I agree but think it should apply to ALL dogs not just certain breeds.
I know several pitbull owners. All but one set of dogs I have no reservations about. And that set is owned by an Ahole to begine with. but he at least knows his animals and keeps them well contained at all times.
On the other hand I have been bitten by several german shepards (they seem to have a taste for me)
And when I was a kid had my dog attacked by a Boxer that tore her shoulder up pretty good.
now my dog was a beagle. Beagles are not exactly known for being ferocious but yet this same beagle tried to attack the mailman.
Ultimately it is the owners responcability to maintain control over their animals reguardless of species or breed.
On the other hand. I also feel that if you enter my property illegally and without notifying me first and my daughters duck attacks you.
Your on your own.
