It systematically reviewed the evidence from around the world on gun laws and gun violence, looking to see if the best studies come to similar conclusions. It is the first such study to look at the international research in this way.
The authors are careful to note that their findings do not conclusively prove that gun restrictions reduce gun deaths. However, they did find a compelling trend whereby new restrictions on gun purchasing and ownership tended to be followed by a decline in gun deaths.
It says so itself. Note the "Gun Deaths"
First, and most importantly, that gun violence declined after countries pass a raft of gun laws at the same time: "The simultaneous implementation of laws targeting multiple firearms restrictions is associated with reductions in firearm deaths," the study finds.
Note again Firearm deaths
Feel free to read through the rest of the source you offered, it repeats the same phrases several times. Though it does note that in 7 South African cities the overall crime rate reduced that is the only time it says so.
This is actually what I'm talking about when I say statistics get skewed biased on the views of the agenda of the group or person on both sides of this issue

South Africa's comprehensive Firearm Control Act, passed in 2000, contained all these measures. One study found that firearm homicides in five major South African cities decreased by 13.6 percent per year for the next five years. "Reductions in nonfirearm homicides were also observed," Santaella-Tenorio et al. note, "although not as pronounced as the ones observed for firearm homicides."

The argument could be made that suicides shouldn't go down, since if they want to die they'd find another way, right? Except that they didn't. Either because they used a less effective way, or didn't want to die as badly if it was a slow death.Austria's 1997 firearm law, similarly, required background checks, limited access to powerful firearms, and imposed rules about how gun owners had to store their guns. Santaella-Tenorio reviewed two studies on Austria's 1997 law, both of which found evidence that the law had reduced deaths. According to one of them, firearm homicides went down by 4.8 percent, while suicides went down by 9.9 percent.

As for suicides and the study of Austria again one anomaly doesn't change the issue that overall this simply isn't the case (Based on the above shared sources). Nor would suicide be considered a homicide thus not really part of this issue.
