I wouldn't want to be on either side either.

I get that GSD's are much heavier and have a much higher biting force(mine is 130 lb male), but when it comes to breed related attacks pit bulls outweigh every other breed it seems.

Everything I say though is most likely biased due to having my dogs attacked at dog parks by pit bulls. On a separate occasion when I was at a co workers house a few years ago sitting in a lawn chair having a beer in his front yard and the house across the street had their front door wide open and had no fence. It was roughly 3:30, and a guy roughly 15/16 years old was walking on the side walk coming home from school, and the dog comes charging out barking at the kid. Obviously the kid was scared shitless, jumped on the hood of the car that was in front of the house, set off the alarm, and the owner finally came out screaming at the kid to quit teasing his dog.

Shitty owner? yes
Unprovoked reason for a dog to try to get the kid? yes
Ban the breed? no
Do something to make it safer for people? yes (mandatory fence if in a house with a yard or something to prevent a dog from escaping. That goes for all dogs labeled as dangerous for all I car)

again, I don't support the ban, but I do think some things need to be done. Not just for this one specific breed, but any "dangerous" breed.
