US number is annual and doesn't include deaths from other reasons. Albania number is sum of the last 25 years. So we could ignore other homicide weapons and say yes, this is equivalent to 48000 Americans a year. Considering that US gun violence has fallen by about 50% since the 90s [1], I'd say this is equivalent to about 3-4x the US rate over the same period. It's a lot but not some murderous wasteland.
