Exactly. They are the assault rifle of dog breeds. People want to preach about bad owners and personal responsibility, but the fact is both are capable of way more damage, and next to no one needs them.

You want to tell me how a chihuahua is more aggressive? When was the last time one ripped out a woman’s throat? Sure, they can be more aggressive, just as someone with a 9mm revolver can be more aggressive than someone with an AR-15. But when someone kills and/or wounds dozens, it’s not done with a 9mm.
