When people see a dog and call it a 'pit bull,' or when regulations are based on body type, the following breeds get lumped in with the Pit Bull:
Staffordshire Bull Terrier
American Staffordshire Terrier
Bull Terrier
Miniature Bull Terrier
American Bully
American Bulldog
Presa Canario
Cane Corso
Dogo Argentino
Tosa Inu
Bullmastiff
Dogue de Bordeaux
Alapaha Blue Blood Bulldog
Olde English Bulldogge
Any other breed with square shaped head or bulky body type
I consider many of these breeds dangerous for different reasons, such as the American Bully, American Bulldog, Bullmastiff, Presa Canario, Cane Corso, Dogo Argentino, Tosa Inu, and Alapaha Blue Blood Bulldog. However, I don't consider all of the breeds in the list above dangerous, and I consider Rottweilers as dangerous as any of these breeds, despite having been around many Rotts that were big babies.
If Rottweilers are as bad as pit bulls, then by all means the public needs to know that.
Rottweilers, as a single breed, are responsible for 13% of dog bite deaths.
So, yes, let's do something about Pit Bulls, but when it comes to doing something about 'pit bulls,' let's exercise some thought instead of acting against any other breed with square shaped head or bulky body type. Do something about the Presa Canario, but not the Bull Terrier.
