 But, it is a fact that the gun murder rate peaked in 1994. Firearm ownership has been a massive upward trend since the mid-90s.

You sure that the gun ownership among population increased or just the amount of guns sold increased?  Because to my understanding people who own guns own multiple if not shitload of guns.

I bet half of the increase in gun sales was due to republicans scaring their base into believing Obama would take their guns away.  Gun sales have fallen drastically since Obama left office because no more scare tactics.  Some major gun manufacturers have even declared bankruptcy.  Basically the gun manufacturers need another democrat in oval office so they can scare their base into buying more guns.

Both the number of guns per gun owner, and the number of gun owners have increased, yes.  

And, yeah, the gun industry went nuts during the Obama years.  The crash after that was very predictable.  Ironically, I bet most of the gun industry insiders were Clinton voters
