That argument makes absolutely NO sense. Why should they make the news if they're not causing as much harm? Out of the dogs that you named, i'm guessing the only way realistically that someone could die from their bite is if it got infected or something.
Pit bulls and rottweilers and the like CAN kill and some DO kill. You admitted yourself that they do damage when they bite. It's not uncommon to hear of children or sometimes even adults being killed by one of these dogs. Knowing your dog can cause damage puts the responsibility on YOU as an owner. Just like guns, there have to be laws because some dumb asses don't take care of their own responsibilities and other people get hurt.
