I would think that Murders committed with Fire Arms would be a better statistic and also a comparison of Firearm Murders to Murders committed by other means.
I am going to speculate that the US would score high in both Murders committed by other means and Fire Arm Murders.

Most pro-gun folks don't like the statistical stuff. It highlights the dangers of firearms and weakens their case.
