1. The source for this article is http://www.snopes.com/toddlers-killed-americans-terrorists/ http://www.snopes.com/toddlers-killed-americans-terrorists/, which says >Broad counts indicate that 21 toddlers shot and killed themselves or others in 2015; 19 Americans died at the hands of potential or suspected Islamic terrorists. Even taken at face value, that's 21 to 19. That page is itself a bit confusing. They count the number of deaths by Islamic terrorists while evaluating a claim that merely says foreign terrorists. The guardian then spins that into terrorists, not specifying foreigners. Glancing over https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_terrorist_incidents,_January%E2%80%93June_2015 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_terrorist_incidents,_J... and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_terrorist_incidents,_July%E2%80%93December_2015 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_terrorist_incidents,_J... turns up the following: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charleston_church_shooting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charleston_church_shooting, 9 dead https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorado_Springs_Planned_Parenthood_shooting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorado_Springs_Planned_Paren..., 3 dead Neither seem to be by foreigners, so snopes is not wrong, just confusing. The guardian is flat out wrong. The numbers are 9+3+19=31 versus 21 for toddlers. 2. The fear of terrorism is of the tail. People aren't that worried over the 10 people who die in an attack, comparatively. They're worried about the 3000 people that die for a large scale attack, even if it's less likely. I bet if you took the last 25 years, terrorist deaths would be more than toddler gun deaths. If the latter is around 25 a year, we have a total of 625, versus 3000 from 9/11 alone.
