Obama Comes Out Against Dog Breed-Specific Legislation, Joins The Fight For Pit Bulls

ails are wagging in Washington this week.

Not only did the Obama family introduce Sunny the puppy to her adoring country, but the White House also came out against breed-specific legislation -- regulations and laws that restrict ownership of dogs by breed, pit bulls being the most common target.

Groups like the American Bar Association have said for years that these sorts of restrictions do harm -- to families, to dogs, to due process and to the economy -- without actually improving public safety.

Based on a statement that the White House put out about a week ago, it would seem that Obama agrees. "Breed-Specific Legislation Is a Bad Idea" begins the White House's official response to an online petition, signed by more than 30,000 people, asking for laws that target dogs by breed to be outlawed at a federal level.

I'm sorry, but you Obama cult members have become as shallow as he is...

I agree with him that the dogs shouldn't be outlawed, but he's wrong in pushing for the Congress to make such laws illegal. This is not within the purview of the federal government; it is a state and local issue and should be decided as such.

It could fall under commerce.

In any case..they are stupid and cruel laws.

Which makes this a subject our prez should weigh in on.

I wonder what the reaction would have been if he had been in favor of BSL.

Naw, I don't wonder at all. The reaction is always the same and deserves to be ignored.

No it would not. Me buying a dog here in Nevada is not interstate commerce.

Depends. Maybe the dog was born in Arizona.

And if dogs from Nevada gets sold to people in New York, guess what? It's interstate commerce.

How many people do that? We can argue legal theory all day if we wanted. Unless something like this passes, which I doubt, it doesn't really matter.
