I agree with OP, I think pitbulls should require a license.
You can't own any dangerous animals such as big cats, venomous snakes, wolves, and other such animals without a license. Pitbulls should fall within this category, too.
I think you can own all these things in Ohio without King Dewine signing off.

This.
Fear sells, pitbull is just the flavor of the day right now. Pseudo scientists aggregated a bunch of breed based behavior statistics, and found Pitbull scored one of the highest for interactions with humans and their own pack. They got lower marks for interactions with third party dogs or packs. Google it.
License and training would go a looong way. Adoption agencies require way more than Breeders in regards to vetting, training, ensuring animals aren't abused. Breeders are awful, part of the root problem with 'bad' dogs and owners.
Three white t shirts and a pit bull and you better be careful.
Go to the ASCPA shelter here and you will be able to pick out a dog out of 300 pit mixes. Dudes sell their puppies at gas stations so they can fight in the bandos for money.
There is a huge socioeconomic phenomenon at work here that is very scientific; biology just isn't the only science involved. Always consider the biopsychosocial spectrum

so, you think that making it harder to own a pitbull (by adding license and training requirements) would be a good thing?
Not for bulls. It would be Auschwitz for them.
I guess if you want to arbitrarily slaughter animals for no good reason; at least export them to China. I hear they beat them with sticks before they slaughter them to make the meat tastier. Opposite of pigs here...pigs will see their death coming, panic, and have a heart attack, and per the FDA a pig that dies by cardiac arrest has to be wasted :/ So they sound proof the areas they scream from.

How about cracking down on backyard breeders for any breed to start.
Station people in houses across America to make sure dogs aren't fucking... wonderful. It make fines for breeding that will get baked into the price of puppies? I will hustle some chihuahuas.
