There are many safe gun owners in the United States. I wonder though, how many murders, percentage-wise, are accomplished, with guns?

In the United States, guns are used in around 1100 deaths per 100000 people, according to the UN Small Arms Survey. That makes gun deaths about 35 times more common than in other countries with high firearm ownership rates. The vast majority of these gun deaths are due to homicides, suicides and accidents - not acts of defending oneself or other justifiable uses of firearms.
