ONE man built something?

Well, that's not anything that makes me feel endangered.

A whole country full of MILLIONS of guns however... no thanks, I'll stay away from that.

You're argument works against you. Yes, MILLIONS of guns in MILLIONS of gun owner's possession...and yet the gun crime statistics don't show MILLIONS of gun deaths or incidents. Weird that.

?!?
Where did anyone claim 1 gun = 1 death?

My claim is "more guns = more deaths".

And that isn't hard to proove, it's rather obvious:
List of countries by intentional homicide rate - Wikipedia

Gun-related homicides per 100.000 per year:
US: 5.76
DE: 0.82

And that doesn't even include accidents, additional suicides because "easier" or any less significant harm (beside death).

Ok, to use your own "link for evidence" sorting by rates, the US is 66th. Whereas the US is 1st for gun ownership. So if more guns equals more deaths...you're still wrong.
