Yeah but you could live in midwestern US, which has a lower murder rate then Euro countries/ Australia despite the high gun ownership.

But the midwest is sparsely populated. Compared to the nordic countries, which have relatively high gun ownership (but a sparse populace), the murder rate is comparable (and low). However, the murder rate in the densely populated areas in the US with mass gun ownership have an abnormally high murder rate compared to other densely populated European countries with strict gun laws.
