Ban them.
I think it's fair to just get rid of these dogs from heavily populated areas. We don't need to satisfy some idiot who thinks it's cool to have a mean dog at the expense of peace of mind of some parent who has an 8 year old kid.

I say there should be some kind of license needed to own the more vicious types of dogs.

Ban Poor old Dogs that Never did a thing wrong? Bulldogs are some of the best dogs you can have, they are very loyal. Shepards and labs are the same.
