According to the F.B.I. in 2013 there were 1,163,146 violent crimes and 14,196 murders reported in the U.S. Keep in mind thats just one year. The good news is these rates have been consistently dropping.
According to the Global Terrorism Database http://www.start.umd.edu/gtd/ . From 1970 to 2014 there have been approximately 2,660 incidents of terrorism and 3,472 related deaths in the U.S. in the last 40 years.
Just thought Id pass that along.

I wonder what the criteria is for the terror one was? Are those Americans killed by terror acts? In the US only or also Americans killed outside the US? If so I say the number is wrong as it should higher. The deadliest incident would be September 11 2001 second would be the Marine barracks bombing and I recon third would be the USS Cole bombing last would be the embassy bombings in 98 though those killed mostly local Africans last would be Kobar Towers the rest would be Americans killed in other acts. Heck maybe they number is right but I feel that is low by perhaps 100 or 200.
I recon that you are saying that as a whole you are pretty unlikely to die or even be injured or event personally witness an act of terror. Heck your chance of being the victim of any violent crime is fairly low.
