WHAT'S TRUE: 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.

Boy, that's a really weird way of saying terrorists killed more. And it's also really weird that 19 is bigger than 21 now.

BTW, it's normally incumbent upon the person making the claim to prove it's valid, rather than expecting the person that doubts the claim to prove it's valid.

BTW, it's also completely obvious when another poster is fishing for a reason to disregard something they do not want to be true.
