An Analogy.

Kids are in the backyard playing with a BB Gun. It accidentally fires and hits a kid in the cheek. Small Scar in the future at most. Nothing reported.

Kids are in the backyard playing with an Assualt Riffle. It accidently fires and hits a kid in the cheek. Brains splattered. Gets reported.

Pit Bull owners talk about how other breeds attack more and are "less Dangerous". More BB guns have accidentally been fired off than Assault Rifles, but the result is completely different. In both cases the Gun owners were negligent.
In all honesty, a training course and registry for dog owners of "dangerous" breeds is a far better option than a ban. Breeds should not be killed off because some people are not responsible, much like the gun debate.
