I'd see a license for breeding and owning GSDs. They're not ill-socialized like a lot of other attack-prone breeds are, but they do need to herd and run around and be stimulated. It's literally in them at an atomic level to do so, and you can't simply train it out of them.
So many dogs are just ill-suited for the modern concept of having a dog. This thing where we just have a dog around a <1500sqft home where they eat and sleep and occasionally go for a walk is less than 100 years old. For the other 20,000+ years of hominid-canine interaction, they had an actual job to do that was typically physically and mentally demanding. They were warding off wolves or enemy tribes, or helping us hunt, or pulling loads. Now they just sit around all day in this tiny little slice of territory. People get in love with the aesthetics of the breed instead of what they were actually bred to do, and it has consequences.
