Firstly, even if there's only three murders a year and two of them are with a gun, that's "Most". Secondly, "Most" is only applicable if you count suicides, and if you do that, there are other, more prevalent causes of death. Finally, as above, "Intentionally" only qualifies if you count suicide, which I suppose you could, if you defined murder as "Kills a human".
