US rate of homicide per person is 4.2 times greater than Australia source. The US, with higher rate and 15x the population, have so many homicides their media don't dwell and report on them as much as ours. Don't mistake that for more crime.. Australia is one of the safest places in the world if you look at the stats.
Hunters and farmers can get appropriate firearms.. and there's a big difference between that and being able to get military-grade semiautomatic weapons that you can carry openly down the street in some places in the US. Maybe some firearm restrictions limit hunters and farmers, but to say all is hyperbole
(For non-Australians, be aware that we have a distinct ecosystem that is threatened by many introduced species from the Americas and Asia/Africa/Europe supercontinent, so it's generally seen as ethical and encouraged for the introduced species to be hunted down to protect other wildlife etc. So I guess having access to guns is particularly important for us, yet we have much more firearm restrictions than the US)
