gun deaths are considered a huge problem and major political issue in the US; the US population is also well over 100x the size of albania’s.
Not to mention that all land became state property about 60 years ago and in early 1990's was distributed to others. Needless to say original owners were not happy.
Today Albania is much safer than NYC, deaths are in most cases targeted (crime groups that go back and forth)
So we could ignore other homicide weapons and say yes, this is equivalent to 48000 Americans a year.
Considering that US gun violence has fallen by about 50% since the 90s [1], I'd say this is equivalent to about 3-4x the US rate over the same period. It's a lot but not some murderous wasteland.
