These figures refer to all gunfire-related deaths, not just homicides. In fact, homicides represent a minority of gun deaths, with suicides comprising the biggest share. In 2013, according to CDC data, 63 percent of gun-related deaths were from suicides, 33 percent were from homicides, and roughly 1 percent each were from accidents, legal interventions and undetermined causes.
Suicide related deaths shouldn't count, in comparing gun deaths vs. war deaths. If somebody's wants to kill themselves, a gun merely makes it more convenient. It by no means "enables" them.
