I don't know what to say about these days

I notice that you don’t dispute the fact that in the raw data there is no correlation. Instead you bring a new criterion to bear - over and above guns and death – the relative “development” of the country.
Ok then, as we are not questioning my initial contention, let’s move on to your hypothesis, and look at it clearly.
Even with your data set, your stats aren’t convincing. Take away the US and your list is a hodgepodge of up and down.
Why are Norway, Switzerland and Austria, “standouts”, “as you might expect”?
Why should I expect that?
New Zealand has nearly four times the guns that the UK has but a lower murder rate?
How is that possible?
Canada has few guns than Norway but more than three times the homicide rate.
How come?
You can’t skate around the numbers that don’t fit.
There is no proof of correlation here.

Why should I expect that?
New Zealand has nearly four times (x4) the guns that the UK has, but a lower murder rate.
How is that possible?
Canada has fewer guns than Norway, but more than three times (x3) the homicide rate.
How come?
