I'm not saying breed specific legislation is the solution. Just saying the issue of "dog biting people" and "dogs killing people" with respect to breeds is comparing apples to oranges.

Ay sufficiently large dog can easily kill a child. Mostly because children are much smaller than adults and have virtually no hope of fending off a large dog until help arrives. I could name, easily, at least 20 breeds of dog large enough to easily kill a child.
Again, if we want to stop people, and especially children, from being killed by dogs it simply makes sense to approach it from a breed-neutral point of view. Arguing that "Pittbulls should be banned" is not addressing the underlying issue which is aggressive dogs in general.
