It's a common misconception that pitbulls lock their jaws. They have no physiological ability to lock their jaws, they only have a very strong will not to let go once they get ahold of their target.
As for the breed itself it was indeed bred to fight. However, there is no reason you can't own a pitbull or any other fighting breed and not have them under control. A strong minded dog is a very powerful tool in the right hands during the right circumstances.
The only reason you hear about pitbulls in the news and not smaller dogs is because pitbulls tend to do more damage when people fail in controlling them. Don't blame the breed, blame the people controlling the breed.
