No, it's not these alleged "born fighters" that are
UNPREDICTABLE, it's all animals. When a powerful animal behaves like an animal, you have the potential for a huge problem. It's cute when a 10 pound teacup poodle nips at you, but not so much when it's a Rottweiler/Doberman/German Sheppard/Pit Bull/Standard Poodle/Mastif/Bull Mastif/Bull Dog/Fila Brasileiro etc, etc, etc. See the problem is any dog is capable of being aggressive.
Currently Pit Bulls are highly desired for their image by the worst kinds of owners. It wasn't always the case, they used to be considered the "Nanny Dog". If you ban one breed, these image chasing losers will simply go back to Rottweilers, or Dobermans, etc. You'd have to ban them all and unless you're willing to ban everything that someone else's negilgence can cause to do harm, then stay the fuck away from dog breeds too.
You're right in that some dogs have a higher desire to chase prey. Big sporting dogs like Rottweilers and Dobermans especially so. This should not be confused with aggressive behavior, this is simply the nature of these dogs. They don't chase children because they hate children and want to eat them. Rather it's because children run in jerky movements and make strange noises, unlike an adult. It looks like prey and it should be chased in their mind. This is why children should never be unsupervised with dogs of any kind. You wouldn't leave a child alone to play in a running car for even a few minutes and neither should you do it with a dog.
