I just produced a study (with Joels kind help) that says otherwise. Maybe you have a study that refutes that?
The reason for breed specific legislation is the disproportionate number of deaths and severity of the attacks attributed to those dogs.

Cocker Spaniel on the other hand would be at the bottom of the list. We had one for years and they could be quite nasty with kids around.

Again, lets consider the irrationality of the positions on this issue...
All dogs are created equal and no dog is more dangerous than another. The only difference is the owner.
A Pit Bull can't be inherently dangerous to children.
A Cocker Spaniel can be inherently dangerous to children.
A pit bull can only be dangerous because of the owners.
A Cocker Spaniel is naturally dangerous.
