You're totally right

What's missing here are all the counties where guns are prohibited, period, and where basically there are no gun deaths because doh.

It's easy to just throw this as "cherry picked" but it's a basic fact that the US has ab insane amount of gun violence whereas counties with strict gun laws have little gun violence and countries with extremely strict gun laws have practically no gun violence because there aren't any guns to use to begin with

You bad guns, you ban gun violence, period

The mental health issue that is constantly brought up is a separate issue that should of course also be fixed, it's just that the US thinks it's a good idea to have extremely bad mental health support mixed with free guns when you open up a bank account.

Do you care that people are dead, or that guns were used to kill them? Is it okay to do mass murder by bomb or truck?

If you care about deaths, then you make a chart about deaths. If you care about guns, you make a chart about guns.

This is a chart about guns.
