I think most of us would agree some kind of regulation needs to be done in order to keep people like the OP from getting hold of potentially dangerous pets. The buck doesn't start and stop at "Pit Bulls" is what a lot of people are saying.
Classes, and assessments need to be mandated from State to State and puppy mills need to be closed down. Making it more difficult for just anyone to obtain dogs in general.
I'm no expert at this at all however, and the way things are now this would be an almost impossible task. In the meantime I see a tragic and very unfortunate isolated incident, and not an epidemic of dangerous animals that need to be weeded out of existence.
