Petition for XL Bully dog breeds, not to be banned.

What the petition asks
The government needs to stop the ban on XL bully dogs, why ban this breed of dog when backyard breeders and illegal breeders are a bigger cause for concern? Surely it should be down to the owners and the breeders or any breed of dog?
How can these be banned when there a numerous other dog breeds that are far more aggressive than the XL Bully? A quick search shows that the XL Bully is nowhere near the top 10 most aggressive dogs? When the number 1 is a chihuahua? Source: https://spotpetins.com/blog/breed-tips/most-aggressive-dog-breeds
Another source suggests Jack Russells are most aggressive? And these are not banned, No.6 is a dachshund.
