There ought to be better control of all firearms. Secondly, in addition to murders [looks like Alabama isn't reporting them] we need to look at the maimed or wounded -- those hurt bodily or psychologically -- because in most firearms assaults the wounded outnumber the dead.
P.S. Not to mention emotional trauma suffered by family members, friends, classmates, witnesses, etc. And not to mention emotional trauma suffered by society at large just from seeing this insanity happen everyday. And not to mention citizens' loss of faith in legislators who don't give a rat's ass about gun violence.
