Statistically factual but not comparable. Jihadists would happily detonate a nuclear bomb in New York City which might skew the stats somewhat. As far as I'm aware there are no organised groups of toddlers attempting to procure weapons of mass destruction. This statistic or others like it are always rolled out by those looking to play down religious fundamentalist terrorism (of the brown kind) and by inference play up American imperialism.
The American gun situation is just ludicrous though. There are so many in circulation that gun control will barely scratch the surface. The thing the gun nuts fear most ('they want to take our guns') is exactly what needs to happen surely.
