Another oldie I decided to post.
You want to ban 'pit bulls' - but own a 'shepherd';
You think that 'pit bulls' are crowding the shelters because of overbreeding, not because they are being seized and taken to the shelters by you-know-who;
You believe dogs can be bred to fetch slippers, heel and jump hurdles;
You think 'pit bull' is a breed;
You think that media stories are equivalent to scientific evidence, facts and data;
You think dogs named 'pit bulls' have locking jaws and super-canine powers;
You believe all the bravado nonsense posted on internet forums by guys who are so macho they sit and type all day;
You know that 'pit bulls' weigh over 100 pounds;
You are nodding your head in agreement right about now.

I agree with all else, but wonder how overbreeding would not be a source of pit bulls filling shelter? The more there are of any breed, the more of them will be in shelters. In my home town 60% of the dogs in the shelter were pit bulls or pit mixes (though I'm sure the number is actually much lower, since any muscular dog with a blocky head is labeled a pit bull) but they aren't in any way legislated and the animal control officers weren't biased to think that pit bulls were any more dangerous than any other dog, so not sure who "you know who" would be in this situation. I think probably the biggest factor is the difficulty in finding housing that allows pit bulls, so I suppose that could be indirectly what you are referring to?
