I'm not all that worried about Australia being dangerous, it's the politicians and the people who elect them that put me off visiting that part of the world. Another difference is that in the USA we're allowed to go armed and can shoot things that would eat us - try buying one of
these in Australia. Australians just have to bend over (and are apparently OK with that.)
Don't have one of those.
Do have one of these.
Australia's gun laws are a long way from good, but they are not as bad as they often get painted in America. You have to get the right licences, but those of us who care, have done that.
