Your stats are just a tad out there.

World War II fatality statistics vary, with estimates of total deaths ranging from 70 million to 85 million. Deaths directly caused by the war, military and civilians killed are estimated at 50-56 million people. There were an additional estimated 19 to 28 million deaths from war-related disease and famine.

pretty sure they are counting just American deaths, 600,000 in the civil war plus 50,000 Vietnam, plus 2 world wars, Iraq war etc Versus say 20,000 civilian gun killings every year for the past 200 years, take a wild guess at 2 or 3 million!
