But the rarity of fatalities is immaterial in determining which dog breed has killed the most people. In the same time frame (2005-2017) that Rottweilers, German Shepherds, mongrels, American bulldogs, Mastiffs, Labs, huskies, boxers and Dobermans killed combined killed 146 people, pitbulls killed 284.
Pitbulls are a very dangerous breed of dog. It doesn't matter all that much if the danger is from nature, nurture, or both. The fact is that if you are killed by a dog in the US, it is most likely to be a pitbull.

That's less than 30 per year.
Lightning? Averages 50 per year.
So not at the top of my.worries.
lol, no one's saying you should worry about it. Just pointing out that the rarity and/or frequency of fatal dog attacks is beside the point (which is pitbulls are more likely to be involved in a fatal attack on humans).
