In my mind - I think their owners are a threat to society by having them.

I hate to say it but to some Pit owners, it's a power thing; I've known a few. Like owning an assault rifle with 10,000 loaded clips...

I agree that problem dogs are most often traceable to problem owners, regardless of breed. There is a stereotype of people that are not capable/responsible dog owners that tend to get breeds like pitties.

But I don't see how it's similar to owning a semi automatic rifle with any number of loaded magazines.

Not the best analogy perhaps. maybe is just an attitude thing.

Stigma ownership , I get what you're saying.

My brother used to have a statuesque quality red doberman.
Very well trained and behaved at all times. Fantastic dog.
But in public people feared that dog and the safety of their children.
Most children panicked at the sight of the dog.
I told him he was being a burden to society and those parents and children by taking him around on a leash like that.

He was mostly in denial about it.
