The statistics can be made to say many things, if you twist them right. Lets take a couple of those comparisons from your link, but digging into the numbers more than the overview.
Wyoming: Firearm death rate 25.9 per 100k, homicide 4.9 per 100k, drug overdose deaths 17.4/100k
NY: Firearms death rate 5.4 per 100k, homicide 4.7 per 100k, drugs 25.4/100k
California: Firearm death rate 8.5 per 100k, homicide 6.1 per 100k, drugs 21.8/100k
So the most to least restrictive gun laws have basically zero effect on murders. All of the "Effect" on gun violence is there because they are conflating total deaths related to a gun with intentional murders. It is just that people with guns who want to kill themselves use the gun instead of some other means. Correlation is not causation, if your science teachers didn't drive that home on the first day, you should go back to school and slap them. Heck, I bet zero people kill themselves by running the car in the garage if they have no car. We better ban cars. Better ban all the drugs too, those overdose numbers are way over the murder rates.

It's not a massive problem as your own source proves.
You don't get to spend 5 years calling for the defunding of police, calling for the end of cash bail, rioting in the streets, burning down private property, crash the economy and then demand people hand over their means of self defense.

By that graph it looks like NYC is approaching and surpassing the numbers from the Cocaine Cowboys era and THAT was some bloody shit right there.
Hey speaking of twisting numbers which plainly show a higher per capita death rate due to gun violence in state's without gun laws, you're claiming that's just because people are killing themselves. Alright, so let's pretend the suicide rate is soo high in those states, that it grossly inflates the per capita homicide rates, that's not problematic in itself? Life is so hard people are desperate enough to buy guns and kill themselves, that is such a major read flag as people think guns will solve their problems. Maybe that's why red states enjoy higher per capita gun homicides, which is the chief reason to control them in the first place.
Jerry Nadler really is a comic book villain.

Nadler: "An 18 year old doesn't have a fully developed brain, therefore, they should be 21 to own a gun."
Massie: "Will the chairman (Nadler) help me co-sponsor a bill to raise the draft age to 21?"
Nadler (abruptly): "No!"
Massie: "But the chairman feels that their brains aren't fully developed at 18, 19 and 20."
Nadler: splutters...."the, the... research does indicate that, but..but, the selective service needs (pause)....I mean, if the country needs people, it needs people. "
Massie: "The selective service needs people whos brains aren't fully formed?"
Nadler: "In certain respects, yes."
