The FBI UCR has 11,044 firearms related homicides in 2016. Take into account the increase in the US population from 1999 to 2016 and that's a per-capita decrease, and not an insignificant one.
EDIT:
Their numbers are significantly off for every single year compared to the UCR. I don't think I'd consider that site a viable source on this subject.
Well, hard numbers are hard to come by, thanks to the NRA.
