What is funny about the Internet is that everybody is an expert and it's mostly based on their own (limited) personal experiences. If only there were experts, who looked at all of the data and analyzed it without emotion and initial bias. Oh wait, there are. Namely the American Veterinary Medical Association and the American Humane Association. Don't be fooled in to thinking only American experts think this way. It's pretty much the universal opinion of professionals in most countries.

BSL Does Not Work
While supporters of BSL argue that the only way to be safe from dog bites is to eradicate “dangerous breeds” from the community, there is little evidence that supports BSL as an effective means of reducing dog bites and dog attacks.

Any dog can bite, regardless of its breed, and more often people are bitten by dogs they know. It’s not the dog’s breed that determines risk -- it’s the dog’s behavior, general size, number of dogs involved and the vulnerability of the person bitten that determines whether or not a dog or dogs will cause a serious bite injury. Dogs can be aggressive for all sorts of reasons. A dog that’s bitten once can bite again, and a dog that’s never bitten could still bite.

The experts have spoken. Everything else is just your layman's opinion and really should be treated as such. No matter how many articles on dog attacks you dig up and post.
