Note, this is NOT gun ownership rate. This is total number of guns vs total number of people. The total ownership % for, say, the US is something around 50-60%, not 89%.
Intentional homicide rate:

Not every country has an up-to-date rate, so the most recent year on record is used. I actually used the 2012 spreadsheet, so I'll need to update it eventually with 2013 numbers. But as teh Washington Post gun ownership link was created in 2012, the numbers depict the same year so it's more accurate. Interestingly, the WP data is derived in part from the same UNODC study.
Also remember, this chart is
intentional homicide/
murder rate, not "gun-related murder".
