One quick search showed me 13,286 people were killed and another 26,819 people were injured in gun crimes in 2015, and that doesn't count suicides and numbers are low as the figures were released in Nov by the FBI.

I was more interested in the terrorist deaths, to be honest. It's not that I don't believe him, I'm a physicist and want to know if I should trust the source he used. One quick search brought up a CNN article that lists 3412 deaths (including 9/11, 416 deaths not including 9/11, and only up to Sept 2014) so I was wondering where his numbers came from and asked an open question rather than be accusatory. I'm not sure I'd trust CNN either, but his number of 158 seemed very low to me.
