Some of my friends tell me that pit bulls are, by blood, killers...that is, even if they're not trained to kill, they all have the potential to start attacking a kid or baby randomly...is that true? what about if your dog is trained strict and hardcore, could that still happen from a pit???

Absolute Rubbish. Any dog can snap. Breed is not a factor. Anyone that tells you otherwise just doesn't know.
Read this site and make up your own mind:

One concern however, some Airlines will not fly adult Pittbulls at all. They do have a bad repuation.
Pittbulls were bread to fight other dogs. They are not considered in the man stopper class of dogs (Rottweiler, Sheppard, Doberman) because they are not well suited as guard dogs. They're usually not big enough. Anybody who thinks a pittbull locked on to their arm is more dangerous that a Rottweiler pinning you to the ground, is simply wrong. You'll notice police and millitary use Sheppards, not Pittbulls.
Pittbulls that WERE bread for fighting, needed to be handled by people still. A dog that randomly attacked people, including handlers, would be destroyed.
