All that BSL does is make more people anxious and nervous of these specific breeds after hearing about them and learning what these breeds look like, resulting in the wrong posture of these people around these breeds to set off a reaction.

People need to educate themselves about how to behave around to reduce there risk of anything happening. Of course, I'm not excusing dog owners for their responsibility to have a well trained obedient dog. Just saying these scared people need a little training themselves.
Interesting points.......I'd have would have to agree! I think you're absolutely right; if your local government says certain breeds are 'dangerous' (By passing these ridiculous laws) then the bulk of the population would likely be biased in that direction. After all, the passing of the BSL makes it 'offical', doesn't it???

Absurd..........

P.S. I read somewhere today that in Germany it is required by law to attend obedience traing for ALL dogs/owners. Don't know if that's true or not....but interesting just the same.
