"The weight of evidence that gun ownership is proportional to gun violence is overwhelming and undeniable."
Actually, THAT isn't true either!
"After the incident, legislation was introduced in 1997 to prohibit, with some extremely specialised exemptions, "Small firearms" with a barrel length of less than 30 cm or an overall length of less than 60 cm. There was a marked increase in overall firearms homicides in the first few years following this legislation, but this was followed by a return to the situation before the ban."

So after the bans introduced after Dunblane, firearms deaths went UP, and have since returned to their pre-Dunblane levels.
"No other country has anywhere near the rate of gun ownership as the US"
Apart, of course, from Switzerland.
"and no other country has anywhere near the gun death rate."
Apart, of course, from a dozen or so hispanic or african countries.
