Unlike a gun, a dog can attack & kill without human involvement. Not the same deal at all.
Guns are not dangerous all by themselves. They do not escape from the house & shoot people. Many of these dogs can and do escape and maul other animals and people. They often cannot be safely placed into adoptive homes. Pit bull rescue groups do re-home pitties, but they must be incredibly vigilant to ensure the dogs are not being released to the drug dealers & dog fighters who covet the breed.
I feel so badly for the people who have perfectly lovely pitt bulls. It's not the dog's fault.

Nobody is signing up to protect all guns the way I see it. Anyway, I think that there is a strong potential of danger with these dogs that there isn't with smaller breeds. They are bred that way I'm assuming since most traits of dogs have been highly manipulated (without the religious right even once saying anything about that genetic manipulation). It's not the dog's fault, but if his genes have a potential - why not just prevent that and stop breeding them?
