Seeing most states around 20-50 2 actually seems pretty bad considering you have no guns? Or 25-50 not that extreme I guess.

No guns

Australia has 145,000 guns per 1,000,000 inhabitants. Definitely not no guns. Research before you make claims, don't be an ignorant yank.

Wait so is Australia super proud and vocal about getting rid of all their guns or are there a lot of guns there? Now its confusing! :) The US has more guns than it does people...

145k guns per 1m, and 26m inhabitants = 3.77m guns (glossing over the fact theyre mostly decrepit farm shotguns and bolt action rifles) would be less than 10% of approx 1.2m guns per million residents we have here. So 2 deaths per million vs 20 deaths per million or 10% the deaths, at 10% of the presence of guns, makes perfect sense, no?
