I don't know where you are attempting to go with your questionable information, but you are remiss in your neglect to mention that gun related homicides is down 63% since 1993. From Pew Research.
If you are going to use totally unrelated stats to make a point, then why not add deaths by doctor - more than gun deaths, deaths by automobile - more than gun deaths, death by bludgeoning - more than gun deaths, deaths by drowning, death by poisoning, deaths by plane crash, etc.
What does the State Dept have to do with crime statistics? I believe that is more of a FBI bailiwick.
