I don’t know if it rises to the level of needing to be regulated

It does. That's the whole point. There's nothing emotional about this opinion. You don't have to be scared to think dogs that regularly kill people should be banned. It's common sense.

    I thought the problem is that the amount of dog bites don’t go down when you ban breeds - it just changes to another?

    All the studies I’ve seen suggest strong licensing over all dogs, regardless of breed, is the most effective at reducing dog bite injuries and fatalities

    That said I’m not great at extrapolating data so if someone can point out anything I’ve missed in that, I’d greatly appreciate it.

    This looks like just some data dump prepared by pit bull supporters to have easy link they can distract people with. Seriously, why would someone create a page with dog bite studies specifically?

    But I looked at the very first article and....

    "f you consider only the much smaller number of cases that resulted in very severe injuries or fatalities, pit bull-type dogs are more frequently identified."

    Yeah, no shit. This entire website is trying to purposefully confuse "dog bites" incidents with dogs killing people and then claims "Look, Chow Chows also bite people. It's the same!". It's not. When people talk about banning dangerous breeds they mean breeds that cause severe injuries.
