Exactly. What is puzzling is why politicians never understand the problem that more and more laws don't stop the kind of people who break the law. Similarly, politicians kept collecting Hitler's autograph on bits of paper (Chamberlain's peace agreement with Hitler of 30 Sept 1938, stalin's peace agreement with Hitler of 23 August 1939, etc). It's no good trying to stop law breakers or wars by simply making more laws for people to break, or more peace deals for dictators to break. Enforcement is the only thing that stops law-breakers, not more and more laws.

In fact, the only people affected by ever more laws are the innocent, who are "protected" by worthless scraps of paper that the law breakers don't even bother to read, never mind obey!

Absolutely, but the truth is - banning dogs is like swatting flies, another will be along in the moment ... the question has to be, why do people want to breed this type of animal ...? Surely it is an insane act made up of, in part, egoism - look i can control a killer dog - and a killer loves me!
