You hit the nail on the head Buzz. Pitbulls have been stigmatized because the breed is well suited for fighting - strong jaws, very thick skin. Just about any breed of dog can be dangerous to some degree - keep in mind that if a canine will never weigh more than 40 lbs or can be carried in a purse, I don't consider it a dog.
People who are that concerned should just resolve to owning a shih tzu.
