Sorry, dude. I really hate to get all dog racist here, but the problem with the pitbull type (and IDGAF about staffordshire or american or whatever the hell it is) is that some of them have this alarming tendency to rip a persons face off for no reason.
One minute they're cool, the next minute 911 is on the phone. That's not cool. It's like playing with a grenade. Probably not gonna explode, but it could. And if that happens, it could be lethal. Other dogs are like firecrackers. Could explode, but probably not going to kill or permanently disfigure some kid that was just trying to pet him or grab a ball to throw it.

Yes, some pitbulls have an alarming tendency to rip a persons face off, but that's no different than any other breed, it all comes down to the owners and training provided. Your next paragraph is exactly right. The issue arises because Pitbulls are much stronger than most breeds, but is it really fair to blame a pitbull for being built differently? That's like blaming a guy who's 6'5" 220lb for being stronger than a woman who is 5'2' 110lbs. Is that man more dangerous than the woman, because the one time he attacks he causes serious injury, rather than the minor injury the petite woman causes even if she attacks on a more frequent basis?
