So if I understand correctly, you are more likely to be assaulted in E/W (perhaps because the assailants know that you don't have a gun), but if you are assaulted in the US, then you are more likely to be killed (perhaps because the assailants have a gun and are not afraid to use it).

So our stats probably both correct.

Tony: twice as likely to be assaulted in E/W (tick)
Me: 30 times as likely that murdered with firearm in US. I.e. given that you were murdered, it was with a firearm. (very likely correct if you look at your stats above)
