I was responding specifically to a comment about mass murder. That said, gun deaths is a murky statistic due to the inclusion of suicides. Whether that is 'fair' or not is a matter of perspective. I don't believe it is, personally. Primarily because other countries without firearms have higher rates of suicide. The issue is further convoluted by the fact that [1]many of the most armed regions of the US are the safest, in terms of violent crime. My conclusion is that there's other factors at play that have to be addressed before firearms can be isolated as a variable.
