I understand your point however, its not the fact USA has guns which is why they have these killings. Ask any US citizen and they will say there educational system is bad, they dont invest enough resources into schooling etc.
Also we cannot compare countries with 40m people to a country with 400m. Its alot easier to control crime with a lower number of citizens and in this case, Australia or Canada make up 1 entire US city. Thats how big the USA is to those countries. Also Canada and Australia have a better educational system or at least invest more into it than the States.
Crime is crime, if they wont kill you with a gun, they will kill you with something else. Its why in my opinion taking away something from people to stop crime is just a quick patch up to an issue that wont last long. If a killer wants a gun, they will get one regardless of the laws.
