That is not the per-capita murder rate. Let me just say it again, when the UK banned guns in 1968, the murder rate didn't drop. People just switched to different means. What I asked for is a stat showing that it did. Not a fabricated stat like firearms related deaths where people are using it like it's a per capita murder rate. All that link shows is that when guns are unavailable people use other instruments to murder. What I'm looking for is someone backing up the claim that banning guns would cause a lower murder rate, which you claimed would happen with a ban on assault rifles. I mean if you are going to make a claim like that, you should be able to come up with an example.
