You are so right about the breed ban slope. If we let the hystericals legislate which dog breeds are legal, there will only be labradoodles and pocketbook dogs out there. There are already something like 1.25 million pit bulls killed at shelters every year--every time a breed ban goes into effect, there's another spate of dogs sent to the slaughter, because it's illegal for them to exist.
I can see regulations being more strict: canine good citizen certificates required for licensing, for example (not that both of my dogs would necessarily pass). But as you suggested--dogs on leash don't usually kill people, and most cities already have leash laws.

Enforcement, enforcement, enforcement.
