Notice, however, that most of the top homicide countries are not in the, "developed world." Using your sources, I pulled out what most would consider the stable, developed world nations and listed them in order of guns per capita, followed by the homicide rate.
Very roughly, it looks to me that the US has about four times the guns and roughly four times the homicide rate, with some standouts Norway, Switzerland and Austria, as you might expect.
