Have you a good source for that? I seem to find lots of unclear sources. I found a source that they are down from their peak in 1993 (this source was 2013: https://www.pewsocialtrends.org/2013/05/07/gun-homicide-rate-down-49-since-1993-peak-public-unaware/ https://www.pewsocialtrends.org/2013/05/07/gun-homicide-rate...), but that the last 10 years has been a climb back up
(https://edition.cnn.com/2018/12/13/health/gun-deaths-highest-40-years-cdc/index.html https://edition.cnn.com/2018/12/13/health/gun-deaths-highest... which I sourced from wikipedia, and granted is overall deaths rather than just homicides)
