Also is this per 100k residents? There’s not enough information here to come to any kind of conclusion.

Yes, it's a source link from the data table referenced.

A clear read I took was a drop in homicide rate once the availability of firearms gets near 20%. It bounces up and down to greater extremes until then.

You should still label the axes, most people won't read the source.
