She didn't say homicides, she said gun deaths. (She is being very nuanced there) If you include suicides you get the 33,000.

For 2012:

She’s being a good generic liberal, saying that if we didn’t have all these guns, we wouldn’t have all these suicides.

But places where guns are far less in favor due to cultural issues don’t see reduced rates of suicide by virtue of that. The suicides tend to be by different means. They gravitate to guns here because it’s easy, not because guns are out there whispering sinister things to the mentally disturbed.
