No, because your claim is even more misleading.
Yes, the absolute number is up. But the absolute number of most types of death are up, because the USA's population has doubled over the last 50 years.
If you look at per capita rates, gun deaths have gone up over the last couple years but are still way below the "all time high". We're still below gun deaths rates from the 1990s
