It's important to understand what people mean when they say things. These people aren't saying that pit bulls are more physically capable of killing people than any other breed, they're saying that they're responsible for more deaths than any other breed.

It's a bit like saying the flu is deadler than ebola. Ebola may have a higher mortality rate, but it's so much less likely to infect people that it has a much smaller kill count.
